Key ratings
Operates on 12-48 VDC; pulls 200 mA max on the load. Shielded sensing face means the field projects forward — mounts flush in metal without derating the 5 mm range. IP67 and IP69K ratings handle washdown and high-pressure steam cleaning. Brass body, nickel plated, with overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection on the output.
