APM Series
APM Series compact proximity sensors are specifically targeted at the
electronics industry, where space is a premium. This sub-miniature
series is excellent for applications where small areas that demand
accurate sensing control. The 3-Wire DC sensors are available with
NPN or PNP, both normally open and normally closed.
APM Series compact proximity sensors offer both top and side
sensing solutions that save space and provide additional mounting
flexibility. The LED Indicator is visible from three directions, allowing
easy checking of the operating state. In addition, the APM Series has
IP 67 protection for superior sealing in industrial environments.
