Overview

The SICK IQ40-20BPSKC0K is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor with a short housing design, measuring 40 mm x 40 mm x 66 mm. It features an M12, 4-pin connector for connection and operates on a DC 3-wire PNP circuit with a make contact output function. The device provides a nominal sensing distance of 20 mm and a secured sensing distance of 16.2 mm. It supports flush installation in metal and has a switching frequency of 100 Hz. The unit carries an IP67 protection rating according to EN 60529 and complies with Class 2 power source standards per UL/CSA.

Feature Summary

• Compact rectangular housing with short form factor for space-constrained mounting
• Metal-flush installation capability ensuring stable detection near metallic surfaces
• Rotatable M12 connector allowing flexible cable routing orientation

Applications

• Automated assembly line positioning
• Machine tool workpiece detection
• Packaging machinery object identification

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix KC0K matches the required connector type and cable length configuration. Confirm that the application environment remains within the specified temperature ranges and does not exceed the 100 Hz switching frequency limit. Ensure the mounting surface allows for flush installation as required by the sensor's magnetic field characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a robust, metal-flush compatible inductive sensor is required for standard industrial automation tasks. The 20 mm sensing range suits medium-distance detection needs. The PNP output ensures compatibility with standard PLC inputs. Consider the IP67 rating for environments requiring protection against dust and temporary water immersion.
