Baumer IGYX 18P17B3/L Inductive Proximity Switch

The Baumer IGYX 18P17B3/L is an inductive proximity switch designed for reliable non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation systems. It features an 8 mm nominal sensing distance, quasi-flush mounting, a PNP normally open (NO) output and a 2 m cable. Operating on a 10–30 VDC supply, it provides IP67 protection along with short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection.
