Industrial Inductive Sensor NPN M18
The Turck BC5-S18-AN4X-H1141/S250 is a flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on 10…65 VDC with a 3-wire DC connection and provides a normally open NPN output. The sensing face detects metal targets at a rated switching distance of 5 mm. A M12 × 1 male connector enables quick installation in automation systems.
Suited For Factory Automation Lines
This sensor suits engineers integrating presence detection into conveyor, packaging or machine-tool applications where a compact plastic housing is acceptable. The fixed settings and cULus approval simplify compliance in North American panels. Buyers who require a stainless-steel barrel, a PNP output type or a longer sensing range should look at alternative models.
Behaviour Under Continuous Operation
The PA12-GF30 housing resists oils, coolants and mechanical vibration found in sustained production environments. With no moving parts, the solid-state NPN output maintains consistent switching timing over extended duty cycles. The sealed construction and connector interface prevent ingress that could degrade performance during continuous high-frequency cycling.

Questions about this item
What power supply voltage range must I already have for the 10…65 VDC sensor to operate?
The sensor requires a DC supply between 10 V and 65 V, so your existing power source must deliver within that range.
Will the M12 × 1 male connector on this sensor mate with the M12 cables I already use on older machines?
Yes, the M12 × 1 male connector follows the standard M12 interface, so it fits the same M12 cables used on legacy equipment.
How can I verify the 5 mm flush switching distance is working after I mount the M18 × 1 barrel?
Bring a metal target to 5 mm from the sensing face; the NPN output should switch from high to low, confirming correct operation.
