Product Description
Capacitive proximity switch
for partial building-in equip-
ped with SCR output thus
providing easy serial con-
nection for load currents up
to 500 mA and line voltages
up to 250 VAC. The sensor
is fitted with an addItional
wire for grounding the metal
housing. Nominal sensing
distance is 15 mm. For high-
ly electrostatic materials. Iden-
tification colour: Yellow.
