Overview

The SICK IQ40-20BPSKC0K is a square, short-format inductive proximity sensor designed for flush mounting in metal. It features an M12, 4-pin connector and operates on DC 3-wire PNP circuitry with a normally open (NO) switching output. The device provides a guaranteed switching distance of 16.2 mm and supports a switching frequency of 100 Hz. Its housing measures 40 mm x 40 mm x 66 mm, and it carries an IP67 protection rating.

Feature Summary

• Compact square design suitable for space-constrained installations
• Flush mounting capability within metal surfaces
• Robust IP67 rated enclosure for industrial environments

Applications

• Automated material handling systems
• Pharmaceutical packaging lines
• Industrial automation processes requiring high availability

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix KC0K to confirm the cable length and connector type matches your system requirements. Ensure the DC 3-wire PNP output configuration aligns with your PLC input specifications. Confirm that the 16.2 mm guaranteed switching distance is sufficient for your target object detection needs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, flush-mountable inductive sensor is required for metal integration. The PNP NO output is standard for many European automation controllers. Consider the 100 Hz switching frequency against your cycle time requirements. The M12 connector facilitates standardized wiring connections.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK IQ series, which focuses on providing transparency and availability in material handling processes.
