ei1204tbopl-6 – ind prox pl m12 scr no,plug
Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBOPL-6 is an M12 plastic inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm nominal sensing distance, two-wire SCR normally open output, 20–250 V AC operating range and plug connection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBOPL-6 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI1204TBOPL-6 is an industrial M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in machinery and automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI1204 inductive sensor family, this model combines a plastic cylindrical threaded housing with a two-wire SCR normally open switching output for use with AC industrial control circuits.
The EI1204TBOPL-6 provides a 4 mm nominal sensing distance, allowing metallic targets to be detected without physical contact. Its non-contact operating principle eliminates mechanical switch wear and makes the sensor suitable for repetitive presence, position, counting and end-of-travel detection in automated equipment.
Designed for operation from a 20–250 V AC supply, the EI1204TBOPL-6 provides a normally open SCR output and a convenient plug connection. The M12 plastic long-body construction provides a compact sensing solution for machine builders and maintenance engineers requiring direct AC switching capability.
