Overview

The SICK IQ40-20BPSKC0K is a proximity sensor from the IQ40 series, designed for industrial automation. It features a rectangular housing with a short form factor, measuring 40 mm in width and height, and 66 mm in depth. The device utilizes an M12, 4-pin connector for connection, which is rotatable by 270 degrees with detent functionality. It operates on a PNP switching output with a make contact function and supports DC 3-wire electrical execution. The sensor provides a guaranteed switching distance of 16.2 mm and a nominal switching distance of 20 mm. It is rated IP67 for protection against dust and water ingress and functions at a switching frequency of 100 Hz.

Feature Summary

• Compact rectangular housing design suitable for space-constrained installations
• Rotatable M12 connector allows for flexible cable routing orientation
• Flush mounting capability ensures seamless integration into metallic surfaces
• High switching frequency supports rapid detection cycles

Applications

• Automated assembly line positioning
