LJ18A3-8-Z/BX Inductive Proximity Sensor NPN NO, DC 6–36V, 8mm Range, IP54
The LJ18A3-8-Z/BX is an NPN normally open (NO) inductive proximity sensor designed for detecting metal objects within an 8mm range. Operating on a 6–36V DC supply, it provides a robust 300mA switching output suitable for direct interface with PLCs, relays, and industrial control systems.
Features
- NPN Normally Open (NO) output for sinking current to ground.
- Wide operating voltage range of 6–36V DC for flexible system integration.
- 8mm nominal sensing distance for reliable non-contact metal detection.
- IP54-rated housing provides protection against dust and water splashes.
- Three-wire connection simplifies wiring to industrial controllers and relays.

The LJ18A3-8-Z/BX operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, where an internal oscillator creates a high-frequency field. When a metallic object enters this field, eddy currents are induced, causing a detectable change in the oscillator’s amplitude. This change triggers the solid-state NPN output switch.
Built with an IP54-rated housing, the sensor is designed for durability in industrial environments with exposure to dust and incidental water spray. Its three-wire configuration (V+, 0V, Signal) provides a straightforward interface for integration into automated machinery, safety interlocks, and position sensing systems.
