The Allen-Bradley 871C-M2NP5-E2 is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor from the Bulletin 871C series. It features a 2mm nominal sensing range, a PNP normally open (NO) solid-state output, and operates on a 10-30V DC supply with a 200mA switching capacity. This sensor is housed in an IP67-rated enclosure for protection against dust and temporary immersion, making it suitable for non-contact position detection of metallic targets in industrial automation applications.

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, 1.5mm Detection Range, 200mA Switching Current - 871C-M2NP5-E2

Use this inductive proximity sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range to accurately sense ferrous and non-ferrous metals at distances up to 1.5mm. It's a miniature self-contained, solid-state device with a small barrel and PNP (positive-negative-positive) output that's specifically designed to fit into space-critical applications. IO-Link capability reduces inventory and operating costs, while increasing equipment uptime and productivity. Quick connectors make workplace setups and field installations easy. You can use this item for robotics, automated assembly lines and object positioning on turntables.
Stainless steel housing withstands corrosion and is IP67 (ingress protection) rated for use in harsh environments
Short-circuit protection and false pulse detections prevent damage to the component
Operating voltage range from 10 to 30V compatible with heavy-duty applications

Standards and Certifications

RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
CE (Conformitè Europëenne)
cULus (Underwriters' Laboratories for Canada and the US)
