Description

The CCJ-A18M-5APB capacitive proximity sensor operates by detecting changes in capacitance caused by the presence of a target object within its 5mm sensing field. This non-contact method is ideal for detecting insulating materials like plastics, glass, liquids, and granular substances where inductive sensors fail. The device outputs a PNP (positive) signal upon detection, switching a load connected between the output wire and common negative.

Constructed with a dedicated IC for enhanced noise immunity, the sensor delivers reliable performance in electrically noisy industrial environments. Its M18 stainless steel housing provides durability, while the integrated sensitivity adjustment allows fine-tuning for specific material types and application conditions, ensuring accurate detection and reduced false triggers.

Key Features

  • Capacitive sensing technology for non-metallic object detection.
  • PNP normally-open (NO) output configuration.
  • Standard M18 x 1mm threaded barrel for industrial mounting.
  • Fixed 5mm sensing distance with user-adjustable sensitivity.
  • 10-30V DC wide operating voltage range.
  • Integrated polarity and short-circuit protection for enhanced durability.
  • Red LED provides visual confirmation of output state.
  • High-speed response time suitable for counting and positioning applications.

Applications

  • Level monitoring of non-conductive liquids, powders, and granules in tanks and hoppers.
  • Detection of plastic, glass, or cardboard packaging in automated assembly and packaging lines.
  • Presence verification and counting of non-metallic parts on conveyor systems.
  • Material level control in food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing.
  • Position and limit sensing for automated machinery where metal detection is unsuitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can this capacitive sensor detect?

This capacitive proximity sensor is designed to detect non-metallic, insulating materials such as plastics, glass, liquids, powders, wood, and cardboard. It senses changes in dielectric constant, making it unsuitable for detecting metals, which require inductive sensors.

How do I wire the PNP output of this sensor to my PLC or controller?

Connect the brown wire to your DC power supply positive (10-30V), the blue wire to the negative/common, and the black wire (PNP output) to your PLC's digital input. The sensor will source current (provide a positive voltage) to the input when an object is detected. Ensure your controller's input is configured to accept a sourcing (PNP) signal.

Can the detection sensitivity be adjusted for different materials?

Yes, the sensor features a built-in sensitivity adjustment potentiometer, typically accessed via a small screw on the side or rear of the housing. Turning this adjuster allows you to fine-tune the sensing field strength to reliably detect specific materials or to ignore background interference, optimizing performance for your application.

What is the operating voltage range and output current capability?

The sensor operates from 10 to 30 volts DC. The PNP solid-state output can switch a load of up to 200 milliamps. It is protected against reverse polarity connection and short-circuits, ensuring long-term reliability in industrial environments with potential wiring errors or faults.
