ei1204tbcpl – ind prox pl m12 scr nc,cab
Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBCPL is an M12 plastic-bodied inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance, 2-wire SCR normally closed output, AC operation and cable connection for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBCPL Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBCPL is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI12 sensor range, this model combines a threaded plastic housing with a cable connection and AC switching output for straightforward integration into industrial control applications.
The sensor provides a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm and uses a 2-wire SCR normally closed (NC) output. Its inductive sensing principle detects metal without physical contact, reducing mechanical wear and making it suitable for repetitive position, presence and limit detection duties.
Designed for 20–250 V AC operation, the EI1204TBCPL offers a practical solution where an AC-compatible proximity switch is required. Its compact M12 format, cable connection and industrial protection make it well suited to machine building, material handling and automated production equipment.

Reliable AC Inductive Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and monitoring changes caused when a metal target enters that field. Because no physical contact is required, they provide a durable alternative to mechanical limit switches for repetitive machine positioning and presence-detection applications.
The EI1204TBCPL combines this contactless sensing principle with an AC-compatible 2-wire SCR output. Its compact M12 threaded construction allows installation into machinery, brackets and automated equipment where dependable metal detection and a normally closed switching function are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Automated assembly and production systems.
- Industrial AC control and machine automation circuits.
