ENQUIRE NOWProduct Overview
The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB20-U4-UU is a 40 x 40 mm inductive proximity sensor with a 20 mm rated operating distance for flush mounting and a universal 2-wire AC/DC output. It operates from 20 … 253 V AC or 20 … 275 V DC and switches loads up to 500 mA directly.
The switching function is selectable between normally open and normally closed, and the sensor head is bidirectional and rotatable. A metal base with ground connection, terminal compartment wiring and IP67 protection make it a rugged replacement for mechanical limit switches on heavy machinery.
