4mm Sn Inductive sensor NBN4-12GM50-E2-V1

Here’s an image of the Pepperl + Fuchs NBN4‑12GM50‑E2‑V1 inductive proximity sensor—compact, M12 threaded barrel with a green sensing face.

Product Details

The NBN4‑12GM50‑E2‑V1 by Pepperl + Fuchs is a non-flush inductive proximity sensor with the following key specs:

• Sensing Distance: 4 mm (assured up to ~3.24 mm)

• Output: PNP, Normally Open (NO), 3-wire configuration

• Supply Voltage: 5–36 V DC (commonly listed as 10–30 V DC)

• Housing: Nickel-plated brass barrel with PBT sensing face; M12 threaded, non-shielded requiring non-flush mounting

• Protection Rating: IP65–IP68 depending on mounting and connector version

• Switching Frequency: ~2.65 kHz (RS/Distrelec), or up to 1.2 kHz in other sources

• Operating Current: Up to 200 mA @ ≤1 V voltage drop

• Temperature Range: –40 °C to +85 °C

• Protection Features: Reverse polarity, short-circuit overload protection

• Indicator: Built-in yellow LED to signal switching status

• Certifications: UL/cUL, DNV Marine, compliance with EN IEC 60947‑5‑2, RoHS, and others

How to Use

1. Mounting
   Install the sensor with its M12 barrel in a clearance hole—ensure it is non-flush (unshielded side) to maintain proper sensing distance.

2. Wiring

   • Connect +V (5–36 V DC) to the positive brown wire/connector pin.

   • 0 V/Ground to blue wire/connector pin.

   • PNP NO Output (black or signal wire) connects to your PLC or load input.
     The V1 variant uses an M12 connector; there is also a cable version available

3. Operation & Testing

   • Power on and approach a metal target within ~4 mm.

   • When the target is sensed, the PNP output switches high, and the LED lights up.

   • Remove the target to return to off-state.

4. Environment & Maintenance

   • Suitable for harsh environments (IP65–68, –40 to +85 °C).

   • Keep sensing face clean and install within torque guidelines (≤10 Nm).

   • Regular checks ensure no false triggering or dirt accumulation.

Feature Highlights

• Precise Sensing: 4 mm range with high switching frequency (up to ~2.65 kHz) is ideal for fast automation cycles

• Robust Build: Nickel-plated brass body with IP rating ensures reliability in industrial environments

• Easy Integration: PNP output with M12 or cable variant simplifies wiring/installation across systems.

• Enhanced Protection: Includes reverse polarity and short-circuit safeguards, prolonging lifespan

• Status LED: Immediate visual feedback during installation and diagnostics

• Wide Compliance: Industrial-grade approvals and standards coverage ensures global deployment readiness
