Product catalog summary

Overview

This document is a comprehensive technical catalog from Wick Electronic Co., Ltd. detailing a wide range of proximity sensors, including inductive, capacitive, and NAMUR types. It covers specifications, mechanical dimensions, electrical characteristics, wiring, mounting guidelines, and additional features relevant to industrial automation applications.

1. Product Types and Categories

Inductive Proximity Sensors: Available in shielded and non-shielded variants with sensing ranges from 0.1 mm to over 30 mm. Includes standard, extended, and long-range models.
Capacitive Proximity Sensors: Designed for AC or AC/DC operation with multiple output configurations.
NAMUR Sensors: Specialized DC inductive output sensors for intrinsically safe industrial environments.
High Pressure Inductive Sensors: Stainless steel housings with zirconium dioxide faces, rated for pressures up to 500 bar.

2. Electrical Specifications and Outputs

Voltage Output Sensors: Use specific cable and connector types (e.g., ISS-M81.5G-V5VN2) supporting 10 V to 250 V AC/DC.
Current Output Sensors: Typically 4-20 mA output with dedicated cables and connectors.
Combined Voltage & Current Outputs: For versatile applications, combining both output types.
Wiring Configurations: Include NPN and PNP transistor outputs, normally open (N.O.) or normally closed (N.C.) contacts, and 2-wire or 3-wire DC connections. AC and AC/DC power options are also supported.

3. Mechanical Specifications

Dimensions: Sensor diameters range from 6.5 mm to 34 mm, with lengths and mounting dimensions specified in millimeters.
Weight: Varies from approximately 15 g (small M8 sensors) to 260 g (larger M30 sensors).
Housing Materials: Stainless steel, brass, and plastic options are available; some models feature high-pressure resistant zirconium dioxide faces.
Connectors and Cable Types: Common connectors include M8, M12, M18, and M30 threaded types, with shielded and non-shielded cable options specified per model.

4. Mounting and Installation Guidelines

Mounting Types: Shielded and non-shielded mounting modes are described with recommendations to maintain minimum distances from metal surfaces to prevent interference.
Correction Factors: Sensing distances are adjusted based on target material (steel, aluminum, brass, copper, stainless steel, cast iron, nickel) using provided correction factors.
Mounting Distances: Minimum recommended distances include ≥3× sensing range (Sn) for shielded sensors and ≥6× Sn for opposite mounting to ensure reliable operation.

5. Wiring Diagrams and Connection Details

Detailed wiring diagrams cover NPN/PNP outputs, AC/DC power supplies, and NAMUR sensor configurations.
Connector pin assignments for pico-style (M8) and euro-style (M12) connectors include color codes and terminal functions.
Load connection and power supply polarity are clearly indicated to ensure correct installation.

6. Additional Features and Notes

Some sensors have 5-way rotatable sensing heads for flexible installation angles.
LED indicators are integrated for operational status feedback.
High-pressure models rated up to 500 bar are suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Compliance with IEC standards is noted for mounting and sensor design.
