Inductive Sensor PNP M18x1
The Turck NI8-S18-AP6X-H1141 is an 8 mm rated switching distance inductive sensor with a PNP normally open output. It suits automation engineers and electricians who need reliable metal detection in industrial control systems. The threaded M18 x 1 barrel allows straightforward mounting on machine frames or brackets. A PA12-GF30 plastic housing resists oils and coolants common in production environments.
Upgrade from flush-mount or NPN types
This non-flush sensor replaces flush-mount units when the application requires greater sensing range through a non-metallic gap. It also supersedes NPN output sensors where the controller input expects a PNP sourcing signal. The jump is worth it when the installation demands the longer 8 mm reach or when the PLC input card is PNP only.
Check voltage and connector before ordering
Verify that the supply voltage matches the DC 1030 VDC rating stated for the sensor. Confirm the controller uses a compatible M12 x 1 male connector for the electrical connection. Ensure the mounting location provides enough clearance for the non-flush threaded barrel design.

Questions about this item
What thread size and housing material does the M18×1 sensor use?
The sensor has an M18×1 threaded barrel made from PA12-GF30 plastic.
How do I wire the M12×1 connector for the PNP output?
Connect the three DC wires to the M12×1 male plug matching the PNP NO pinout; the common error is swapping the signal and ground pins.
When should I check or replace the non-flush inductive sensor?
Inspect the sensing face after any impact or heavy contamination; the three-year parts coverage applies if the switching distance drifts from the rated 8 mm.
