PR18-5DN Autonics Inductive Proximity Switch — M18 NPN NO Sensor (Factory Sealed)
The PR18-5DN from Autonics is a cylindrical inductive Proximity Sensor with pigtail cable. PR Series enhance superior noise resistance characteristics with dedicated IC which Autonics self-developed. Also, the series can be widely used in any applications where proximity sensors are required because of diverse range of line-ups in terms of size and sensing distance.
