SICK IQ40-20BPPKC0K Rectangular Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP IQG 30V 20 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK IQG Series Proximity Sensor, 20mm Maximum Detection, Plastic Housing - IQ40-20BPPKC0K

This proximity sensor detects metal targets without contact and is built for industrial sensing tasks in automation and control systems. It operates with a low-voltage DC supply and employs an unshielded sensing face for reliable detection of conductive objects. The housing is MADE from plastic and the device is suitable for flush mounting in applications that need compact, repeatable proximity sensing.

Features and Benefits:

• 20mm detection range enables short-range metal identification
  PNP output supports common sourcing Interface requirements
  150Hz switching frequency suits moderately fast cycle operations
  200mA switching current handles typical control inputs directly
  IP69K IP68 IP67 protection ratings enable high-pressure washdown
  Operates from -25 to 85°C for use across temperature extremes

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object presence detection in manufacturing lines
  Ideal for metal part counting on automated assembly rigs
  Used with PLCs for position sensing in packaging machinery
  Can be used for proximity interlocks on food processing equipment
  Suitable for robotic end-of-arm tooling where Compact sensing is needed

What electrical connection is provided for installation?

The device terminates with a four-pin connector allowing straightforward wiring to controller inputs and simplifying replacement.

How does the sensor perform where space is limited?

Its rectangular form factor with a Compact 40x66mm footprint permits flush mounting in tight panels and machine frames.

What voltage limits must be observed when powering the unit?

The sensor requires a DC supply not exceeding 30V and is designed to operate reliably within that maximum.

Can it detect non-metallic objects or require special setup?

Detection is for metallic targets only
being unshielded it is optimised for direct metal sensing without additional configuration.
