The TURCK BC3-S12-AP6X 5M is a highly reliable capacitive proximity sensor equipped with an extended 5-meter PVC cable for flexible and remote installation. Designed with a smooth Ø12 mm cylindrical housing, this sensor supports flush mounting and delivers a 3 mm sensing range, making it ideal for tight-space installations such as machine panels, tank walls, and compact automation modules. Operating on a 10–30 VDC power supply and delivering a PNP normally open (NO) output signal, it ensures compatibility with most PLCs and control systems. Its IP67-rated housing provides solid protection against moisture, dust, and industrial contamination, while the integrated LED indicates active switch status for visual diagnostics. The 5-meter cable version is particularly suitable for remote mounting points where connector-based versions are impractical, reducing the need for extension adapters and improving installation efficiency in conveyors, filling stations, or enclosed machinery. Key Features: • Capacitive detection of solids and liquids • Sensing range: 3 mm (flush mount) • Smooth cylindrical Ø12 mm housing (non-threaded) • Output: PNP normally open (NO) • 5-meter PVC cable for extended mounting flexibility • Operating voltage: 10–30 VDC • LED switch status indicator • IP67 enclosure for rugged environments • Reverse polarity and short-circuit protection
