Information About PL-05N

The PL-05N is a square-type inductive proximity sensor built within Fotek’s family of industrial sensing components. It is designed for use in low-voltage DC control environments, offering stable detection through its NPN NO output and 3-wire configuration. The device supports rapid switching with an 800 Hz response frequency, making it suitable for automated machinery and high-cycle applications. Its polymer housing and broad operating temperature range enable dependable performance in demanding industrial settings.

Key Features:

  • 5 mm Inductive Sensing: Provides accurate metal-object detection at short range.
  • NPN Normally Open Output: Supports straightforward integration into standard DC control circuits.
  • 3-Wire Configuration: Simplifies wiring for power, ground, and signal output.
  • 10–30 VDC Operation: Compatible with common low-voltage automation power supplies.
  • Compact Square Housing: Fits easily into limited-space mounting environments.
  • Fast Response Frequency: Operates up to 800 Hz for high-speed detection tasks.
  • Durable Construction: Polymer body resists mechanical and environmental stress.
  • Extended Temperature Range: Performs reliably from −20°C to 80°C.

The PL-05N delivers the reliability and precision required for consistent non-contact sensing in industrial automation applications.
