ENQUIRE NOWProduct Overview
The Pepperl+Fuchs NBB5-18GM60-WS is an M18 inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm rated operating distance for flush mounting and a 2-wire AC output. It switches loads directly in AC control circuits from 20 … 253 V, providing simple series wiring like a mechanical limit switch.
The nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 rating suit general industrial use, and green and yellow LEDs show supply and switching status. The sensor is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable and carries cULus and cCSAus listings.

Specifications are taken from Pepperl+Fuchs manufacturer data. Always confirm critical values — particularly hazardous-area and functional-safety data — against the current datasheet, certificates and instruction manual before installation.
Applications
- AC control circuits and relay logic
- Replacing mechanical limit switches
- Conveyors and material handling
- General machine position detection
Installation and Compatibility
Mount with M18 nuts. Wire in series with the load; a quick-blow fuse ≤ 0.8 A (IEC 60127-2) is recommended by the manufacturer. Observe the minimum operating current of 5 mA and the reduced voltage range below 0 °C.
