M18 inductive sensor with configurable output
The Sick IM18-05BCP-ZC1 is a cylindrical M18 x 1 inductive proximity sensor with a 5 mm sensing range and a 4.05 mm safe sensing range. It operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage with a 300 Hz switching frequency. The 4-wire DC connection uses an M12 4-pin male connector and offers wire-configurable PNP or NPN output with selectable normally closed or normally open function.
Suited for flush mounting in metal environments
This sensor fits flush installations where a threaded metal barrel is required and the 74 mm housing length with 45 mm thread length matches the mounting depth. The nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 enclosure rating support use in conditions from –25 °C to +70 °C with resistance to 30 g shock and 10–55 Hz vibration. Buyers needing a non-flush mount or a longer sensing distance should consider other form factors.
Wire-configurable PNP/NPN output decides
The output characteristic is set by wiring choice, allowing the same unit to work as PNP or NPN and as normally closed or normally open. This flexibility reduces the number of variants a maintenance team must stock. Verify that the control system accepts a 1.2 V voltage drop and 100 mA continuous current before specifying this part.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the IM18-05BCP-ZC1 and do I need a separate cable?
The sensor has a male M12 4-pin connector; a matching female cable or connector must be purchased separately.
How do I choose between the PNP and NPN output on this sensor?
The output is wire-configurable; wire the appropriate pins for either PNP or NPN operation.
What does the 5 mm sensing range mean when the sensor is mounted flush in metal?
The rated sensing distance is 5 mm with a safe operating distance of 4.05 mm for reliable detection.
