The TURCK BI5U-Q12-AN6X2 is a compact and high-performance inductive sensor in a flat rectangular (Q12) housing, designed for applications where space is limited. It features a 5 mm flush sensing distance and NPN normally open switching, suitable for detecting metallic targets on conveyors, machinery, and robotic equipment. This model offers a universal wiring concept (U-Type) for simplified integration with different control systems and wiring schemes. With rugged encapsulation and IP67 protection, the sensor operates reliably in challenging industrial environments exposed to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. Key Features: • Flat Q12 housing – ideal for tight spaces • 5 mm flush sensing distance – precise metal detection • NPN output (Normally Open) with 3-wire DC • Universal wiring (U-Type) – easy integration into various systems • Supply voltage: 10…30 VDC • IP67 protection – water- and dust-resistant • High switching frequency – fast response in automation processes • Ideal for mounting in sidewalls or compact control panels
