Tiny Inductive Sensors Tap ASIC And Flip-Chip Technologies

Said to be mountable in the tightest spaces, the Mighty Miniature line of inductive proximity switches incorporate ASIC and flip-chip technologies and are also equipped with short-circuit, reverse-polarity, voltage-surge and EMT protection. Designed to fully integrate electronics into the sensor head, the Series 03 cylindrical inductive sensors measure 3 mm in diameter and 16 mm in length—a sensor requiring only 12 mm of mounting depth is also available. The new Series 04 and 05 sensors occupy up to 20% less space than their predecessors, with the short-body 4-mm sensor measuring just 36 mm in length and featuring an M8 x1 connector. Series 06 and 08 compact proximity switches offer housing lengths as short as 28 mm and an M8 x 1 quick disconnect connector. Described as the shortest of their kind, the Series 08 sensors also have full-body threading. For more information, contact BAUMER ELECTRIC, Southington, CT. (860) 621-2121.
