Electrical Options - Standard Option
Analog Only
Our Analog Output sensors generate a baseline voltage of 1 V in the absence of a ferrous metal target. As a target approaches the sensor face, the output voltage increases proportionally. The magnitude of this increase is dependent on both the size of the target and its proximity to the sensing face—larger and closer targets yield higher output voltages.
Analog Sensing Range:
0.18 - 2.2 Inches
Ideal Sensing Range:
0.21 - 1.75 Inches
Looking for a different gap?
500 Series analog sensors provide detection over the intermediate distance of 0.20" to 2.2″ from a large steel plate – offering more precise detection of a target with other ferrous metals nearby without compromising on compact size.
Analog and Digital
Our Digital Output Sensors feature an additional discrete switched-transistor digital output. When a ferrous target approaches the sensor face and exceeds a defined threshold, the digital output changes state. This trigger point is user-adjustable across a configurable detection range, allowing for application-specific sensitivity tuning.
Standard Trigger Distance:
0.80 Inches

Digital Options:
Our digital output sensors have an additional option of an NPN or PNP output.
NPN (3K pull-up resistor)
Our NPN digital output starts HIGH- approximately 11.8 Volts DC at a supply voltage of 12 Volts - with no target present. At a gap of 0.80 inches, the discrete digital signal switches LOW - approximately 1 volt. Our part numbers refer to this option as "3K".
PNP (Open Collector)
Our open-collector PNP digital output starts LOW- approximately 11.8 Volts DC at a supply voltage of 12 Volts - with no target present, mirroring the analog output. At a gap of 0.80 inches, the discrete digital signal switches HIGH - approximately 1 volt, the opposite of the NPN version. Our part numbers refer to this option as "PO".
Electrical Options - Neodymium "2X" Option
Analog Only
Our Analog Output sensors generate a baseline voltage of 1 V in the absence of a ferrous metal target. As a target approaches the sensor face, the output voltage increases proportionally. The magnitude of this increase is dependent on both the size of the target and its proximity to the sensing face—larger and closer targets yield higher output voltages.
Analog Sensing Range:
0.20 - 2.5 Inches
Ideal Sensing Range:
0.25 - 2.0 Inches
Looking for a different gap?
Our 500 Series 2X Option analog sensors offer the longest detection range among our compact sensor lines—0.25″ to 2.5″ from a large steel plate—delivering precise target detection even in the presence of nearby ferrous materials, while maintaining a versatile intermediate sensing gap.
Analog and Digital
Our Digital Output Sensors feature an additional discrete switched-transistor digital output. When a ferrous target approaches the sensor face and exceeds a defined threshold, the digital output changes state. This trigger point is user-adjustable across a configurable detection range, allowing for application-specific sensitivity tuning.
Standard Trigger Distance:
