Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP is a flat-pack inductive proximity sensor with a 15 mm sensing distance, SCR normally closed output, 20–250 V AC supply and 2 m cable for industrial automation and material handling applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5515TBCP is a robust flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation, conveying and material handling applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi EI 5510/EI 5515 series, it combines a compact polycarbonate housing with a two-wire SCR normally closed output and permanently attached cable.
The EI5515TBCP provides a rated sensing distance of 15 mm and is intended for non-flush mounting. Its AC switching design operates across a broad 20–250 V AC supply range, making it suitable for direct integration into many industrial control circuits without requiring a separate low-voltage DC sensor supply.
With compact dimensions of approximately 35 × 55 × 15 mm, an oil-resistant 2 m PUR cable and IP67 protection, the EI5515TBCP is designed for dependable operation in demanding machinery environments. A yellow LED provides clear output status indication, while the solid-state sensing principle eliminates the mechanical contact wear associated with conventional limit switches.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact, allowing machine position, presence and movement to be monitored without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches. The EI5515TBCP's 15 mm sensing distance makes it particularly useful where a relatively generous detection range is required.
The flat-pack design is well suited to conveyors and material handling equipment, while the broad AC operating voltage range enables integration into established industrial control systems. Its SCR break switching output, status LED, rugged polycarbonate enclosure and oil-resistant cable provide a practical sensing solution for machine builders and automation engineers.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Industrial machinery position detection.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Packaging and production equipment.
- Automated assembly machinery.
- Object counting and movement monitoring.
- Factory automation and process equipment.
