ei5515tbcp-6 – ind prox flatpk scr nc,plug
Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP-6 flat-pack inductive proximity sensor with 15 mm sensing distance, two-wire SCR normally closed output and M12 plug connection for industrial metal detection applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP-6 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP-6 is a compact flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI55 series, it combines a rectangular housing with a two-wire SCR normally closed output for dependable switching in industrial AC control applications.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm, allowing metallic targets to be detected without physical contact. Its flat-pack format is particularly useful where a conventional cylindrical proximity sensor is unsuitable or where machine geometry requires a compact rectangular sensing solution.
The EI5515TBCP-6 uses a normally closed SCR output and features a detachable M12 connector rather than a permanently attached cable. This connection arrangement simplifies sensor installation, replacement and maintenance, making the EI5515TBCP-6 a practical choice for production machinery, conveyors and other industrial automation equipment.

Reliable Flat-Pack Metal Detection
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP-6 detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its electronic output state, enabling machinery to determine the presence or position of components without requiring physical contact.
The combination of a 15 mm sensing distance, SCR normally closed output and compact flat-pack construction makes the EI5515TBCP-6 particularly useful for industrial installations where conventional cylindrical sensors may be difficult to accommodate. Its M12 plug connection also allows faster sensor replacement without replacing a permanently attached field cable.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Machine tools and manufacturing systems.
- Component counting and positioning applications.
- Industrial AC control and automation systems.
