Allen Bradley 871C-D1NP4-E2 Proximity Switch

Product Details

871C Miniature Inductive Sensors

Allen Bradley 871C series miniature inductive proximity sensors are self-contained, solid-state devices designed to sense the presence of ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects without touching them. These small-barrel sensors are designed for space-critical applications where standard-size sensors simply will not fit. IO-Link enabled sensors offer advanced features and diagnostics including Automatic Device Configuration, multiple profiles, trending, descriptive tags, and device-specific parameters

Allen Bradley Inductive Proximity Sensor, 0.6mm Detection Range, 100mA Switching Current - 871C-D1NP4-E2

Install an inductive proximity sensor in a tight space using this miniature device from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range. As it has a compact barrel with a diameter of 4mm, it fits into narrow gaps. It's suitable for flush mounting on equipment and panels and won't encroach on the sensing area. A close detection range of 0.6mm makes it ideal for intricate detection tasks such as foil-seal packaging and gear-tooth positioning on production lines. It's easy to set up and integrate with automated systems using the IO-Link communication interface.
IP67 (ingress protection) rating means it's dust-tight and immersible in water up to 1m for 30 minutes
Stainless steel housing is resistant to corrosion and easy to keep clean in hygienic areas such as food processing plants
Reverse polarity, short circuit and overload protections to minimise electrical damage and increase sustainability

Standards and Certifications
