Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EC5525PPAP Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EC5525PPAP is a compact flat-pack capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic and non-metallic materials in industrial automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EC TRIPLESHIELD™ series, it combines a rectangular plastic housing with improved EMC performance and high noise immunity for dependable operation in electrically demanding machinery.
The EC5525PPAP provides an adjustable sensing distance of 4–25 mm and complementary PNP normally open + normally closed outputs. Capacitive sensing technology enables detection of a broad range of targets, including plastics, glass, liquids, powders and granular products as well as conductive materials, making the sensor particularly versatile for machine automation and level-monitoring applications.
Operating from a 10–40 V DC supply, the sensor features a factory-fitted 2 m PVC cable, LED indication and an IP67-rated housing. Its compact 35 × 15 × 55 mm flat-pack format and non-flush mounting configuration make it well suited to material handling, plastics machinery, packaging equipment and industrial process control.

Reliable Flat-Pack Detection for Industrial Automation
Capacitive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi EC5525PPAP detect changes in capacitance when a target enters the sensing field. This enables reliable detection of conductive and non-conductive materials, including plastics, glass, liquids, powders and granular substances, giving the sensor considerably broader material-detection capabilities than an inductive proximity sensor.
The adjustable 4–25 mm sensing range allows the EC5525PPAP to be tuned for the target material and installation conditions. Carlo Gavazzi TRIPLESHIELD™ protection, improved EMC performance and integrated electrical protection help maintain stable switching in industrial environments, while complementary PNP outputs provide both normally open and normally closed signals for flexible PLC and control-system integration.
Typical Applications
- Material handling machinery.
- Plastics manufacturing and processing equipment.
- Packaging and filling machinery.
- Liquid and bulk-material level detection.
- Conveyor and product detection systems.
- Industrial machine automation.
- Container and hopper monitoring.
- Process control and manufacturing equipment.
