Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between NPN and PNP output on these inductive proximity sensors?

A: NPN (sinking) output connects the load between the sensor output and the positive supply, pulling the output to ground when activated. PNP (sourcing) output connects the load between the output and ground, supplying a positive voltage when activated. Choose NPN or PNP based on your controller's input type (e.g., PLCs typically specify which they require). Both configurations are available in this TL-W series 10-pack.

Q: What materials can these proximity sensors detect?

A: As inductive proximity sensors, these devices detect ferrous and non-ferrous metals — including steel, iron, aluminum, copper, and brass — without physical contact. They are not suitable for detecting plastic, wood, or other non-metallic materials.

Q: Are these sensors suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

A: Yes. With an IP67 protection rating, these sensors are fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1 metre for 30 minutes). They are well-suited for industrial environments exposed to coolant splashes, dust, or humidity. The operating temperature range of -25°C to +75°C also makes them reliable in both cold and warm conditions.

Q: How many sensors are included in one order?

A: Each order includes 10 inductive proximity sensors of the TL-W series (model TL-W5MC1), making it an excellent value pack for production lines, maintenance stock, or prototyping multiple control circuits simultaneously.
