Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515NPAP-1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5515NPAP-1 is a compact flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its rectangular polycarbonate housing measures 35 × 55 × 15 mm and provides a practical alternative to cylindrical sensors where a low-profile mounting format is preferred.
The EI5515NPAP-1 provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm and features an NPN NO+NC change-over output. Its non-flush sensing configuration provides extended-range metallic-target detection, while the complementary normally open and normally closed outputs offer flexibility when interfacing with compatible machine controls and PLC inputs.
Operating from a 10–32 V DC rated supply, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and a maximum operating frequency of 250 Hz. A 4-pin M12 connector, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support straightforward integration into demanding industrial automation applications.

Extended-Range Flat-Pack Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and responding when a conductive target enters the active sensing area. Because detection takes place without mechanical contact, this technology helps minimise physical wear and provides dependable operation for repetitive position, presence and machine-status monitoring.
The EI5515NPAP-1 combines a 15 mm sensing distance with a compact flat-pack polycarbonate housing and complementary NPN NO+NC outputs. Its 4-pin M12 connector enables convenient connection and replacement, making the sensor suitable for machinery, conveyors, production equipment and compatible PLC-based automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Automated assembly and production equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Machine limit and position monitoring.
- PLC-based industrial automation systems.
