Pro-Range CCJ-A12-5APB Capacitive Proximity Sensor, 5mm Detection, PNP Output, M12 Thread

The CCJ-A12-5APB sensor operates on a standard 10-30V DC supply voltage. It is designed to interface directly with industrial PLCs and controllers that provide a 24V DC common supply. Ensure correct polarity connection, as the unit includes reverse polarity protection.

Yes. As a capacitive sensor, it detects objects by measuring changes in capacitance, allowing it to sense both metallic and non-metallic materials such as plastics, glass, wood, and liquids. The built-in sensitivity adjustment potentiometer allows you to fine-tune the detection threshold for different materials.

Connect the brown wire to your DC power supply positive (+10-30V), the blue wire to the negative (0V), and the black wire is the PNP output signal. When an object is detected, the black wire will source current (switch to supply voltage) to the controller's digital input, which should be connected to a pull-down resistor or configured for PNP (sourcing) input.

The sensor offers a fast response time, typically enabling a switching frequency of up to 100 Hz. This makes it suitable for high-speed counting and positioning applications on moving production lines or conveyor systems.

Yes. The sensor features an IP67-rated housing, providing protection against temporary immersion in water and complete dust ingress. This makes it reliable for use in washdown areas, outdoor installations, or industrial environments with significant particulate matter.
