Model NO.

LJ12A3 M12 inductive proximity switch, 2mm (flush) / 4mm (non-flush) sensing range. NPN/PNP, 2-wire/3-wire/4-wire NO/NC options. 6-36V DC, 300mA load, built-in LED, durable brass housing, ideal for industrial automation metal detection.

1. Specification

Two Mounting Styles

  • Flush (Flat Head): 2mm sensing range, can be fully recessed in metal panels.
  • Non-Flush (High Head): 4mm sensing range, longer detection distance.

Multiple Output Options

  • NPN/PNP: 3-wire NO/NC or 4-wire NO+NC DC outputs.
  • 2-wire DC/AC: Simple wiring for direct load connection.

Reliable Industrial Performance

  • Built-in short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.
  • Nickel-plated brass housing for waterproof, oil-proof, and vibration resistance.
  • Fast response time ≤ 2ms, suitable for high-speed automation.

Clear Status Feedback

  • Built-in LED indicator light: turns on when detecting metal (NO models), turns off when detecting (NC models).

NPN vs PNP Concept Explanation (Inductive Proximity Switches)

NPN vs PNP Concept Explanation


(For Inductive Proximity Switches)

  1. NPN: Common positive voltage, outputs negative voltage (low-level signal).

    PNP: Common negative voltage, outputs positive voltage (high-level signal).

  2. NPN NO (Normally Open): Normally open state when idle. When an object is detected, the black wire outputs a negative voltage signal.

  3. NPN NC (Normally Closed): The black wire outputs a voltage signal in the normal state. When an object is detected, the output signal is disconnected.

  4. PNP NO (Normally Open): Normally open state when idle. When an object is detected, the black wire outputs a positive voltage signal.

  5. PNP NC (Normally Closed): The black wire outputs a positive voltage signal in the normal state. When an object is detected, the output signal is disconnected.

Quick Summary

Type Wiring Common Output Signal NO Behavior NC Behavior
NPN V+ (Positive) Low / Negative Idle: Open, no signal

Detected: Outputs negative
Idle: Closed, outputs signal

Detected: Stops output
PNP 0V / GND (Negative) High / Positive Idle: Open, no signal

Detected: Outputs positive
Idle: Closed, outputs signal

Detected: Stops output
