Why Choose the IMO C30P/00-2A Capacitive Proximity Switch?
The IMO C30P/00-2A is an industrial M30 unshielded capacitive proximity switch designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic materials. Part of the C30 Series, it combines an adjustable sensing range of 4–25 mm with a wide 20–250 V AC supply, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial automation and process-control applications.
Capacitive sensing technology enables the C30P/00-2A to detect materials including metals, plastics, glass, ceramics, wood, paper, powders, granulates and liquids. Its unshielded M30 design provides extended sensing performance, while the adjustable sensitivity allows the detection threshold to be optimised for different target materials and installation conditions.
The sensor provides a selectable NO/NC SCR output, a 10 Hz switching frequency and a fixed 2 m PVC cable. A durable thermoplastic polyester housing, IP67 protection and integrated protection functions make the C30P/00-2A well suited to demanding machinery, material handling, packaging and process automation environments.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by objects entering the sensor's electric field. Unlike inductive sensors, which are primarily intended for metallic targets, the IMO C30P/00-2A can detect a broad variety of conductive and non-conductive materials including plastics, glass, wood, paper, powders, granulates and liquids.
The adjustable sensitivity and extended unshielded sensing range make the C30P/00-2A particularly useful for level monitoring, product presence detection and material sensing. Its selectable NO/NC SCR output and wide AC operating voltage allow straightforward integration with industrial control equipment, while the IP67 housing provides protection for demanding machine environments.
Typical Applications
- Liquid and bulk-material level detection.
- Powder and granulate presence monitoring.
- Plastic, glass, wood and paper detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial production and process automation.
