Inductive sensor for electricians
The Turck BI15U-Q20-AN6X2 1608810 is a rectangular inductive sensor built for electricians who need reliable metal detection in control cabinets or machine installations. It operates on 10…30 VDC with a three-wire DC connection and provides a normally open NPN output for simple integration into PLC inputs or relay logic.
15 mm sensing range with Factor 1
The sensor delivers a rated switching distance of 15 mm and maintains Factor 1 across all metals, so ferrous and non-ferrous targets are detected at the same distance without correction factors. The uprox®+ design supports high switching frequencies for fast cycling applications while the extended temperature range keeps performance stable in harsh environments.
Flush-mount Q20 housing with cable exit
The PBT-GF30-V0 housing measures 68 x 40 x 20 mm and is designed for flush mounting, allowing the active face to sit level with surrounding surfaces for mechanical protection. A fixed cable connection removes the need for separate connectors, saving panel space and reducing potential failure points in vibration-prone installations.

Questions about this item
Will the 15 mm sensing range on this Turck BI15U-Q20-AN6X2 work reliably alongside older 10 mm sensors on the same line?
The 15 mm rated switching distance is fixed by the uprox®+ design; it does not change when mounted next to legacy units, but keep the 40 mm width and 20 mm height clearances so the active face on top stays unobstructed.
How can I confirm the NPN output is switching correctly after wiring the 10…30 VDC cable?
Apply 10 to 30 VDC, place a metal target within 15 mm of the active face, and measure the load — the NO contact should pull the output low when the target is present.
Does the box with order number 1608810 include mounting hardware or just the 156 g sensor with its cable?
The package contains one BI15U-Q20-AN6X2 sensor with integral cable; brackets, nuts or connectors are not included and must be sourced separately.
