Turck BC10-Q14-AP4X2 Capacitive Proximity Sensor

Description

The Turck BC10‑Q14‑AP4X2 is a high-precision capacitive proximity sensor engineered for space-efficient embedding into industrial machinery and automation systems. Featuring a flush-mounted rectangular body (55.5 × 30 × 14 mm) with the active face on top, this sensor delivers accurate object detection up to 10 mm. Constructed with robust PBT‑GF30‑V0 plastic housing and offering IP67 protection, it withstands vibrations, shocks, and harsh industrial environments. A built-in potentiometer enables fine adjustment of sensitivity to match application needs. This 3-wire sensor operates on 10–65 VDC and provides a normally open (NO), PNP switching output. It includes full reverse polarity and short-circuit protection, plus clear LED indicators for power (green) and switching state (yellow), ensuring reliable and intuitive operation.
