Pro-Range CCJ-A30-15APB Capacitive Proximity Sensor PNP M30 Thread 15mm Detection

This capacitive proximity sensor is specifically designed to detect non-metallic, dielectric materials such as plastics, glass, wood, liquids, powders, and granules. It is not suitable for detecting metals; for those, an inductive proximity sensor should be used.

Connect the brown wire to the positive DC supply voltage (10-30V), the blue wire to the ground (0V), and the black wire to your PLC or controller's digital input. The black wire (PNP output) will switch to supply voltage (+V) when an object is detected, sourcing current into the input.

Yes, the sensor features an integrated sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. This allows you to fine-tune the detection threshold to ignore background materials or to detect specific low-dielectric targets, optimizing performance for your specific application.

This sensor has a PNP (sourcing) output. When activated, the signal wire switches to the positive supply voltage. An NPN (sinking) output would switch to ground. You must match the sensor's output type (PNP or NPN) to the input configuration of your PLC or controller for proper operation.
