With an unshielded sensing head, it offers extended range detection up to 8 mm and is particularly suited for metallic targets. The device supports 3-wire DC operation with a normally open output, making it ideal for presence, position, or motion detection tasks. It operates at up to 30 VDC and handles load currents up to 200 mA. Housed in a metal barrel with screw-thread design, it enables secure and versatile mounting in machines and production equipment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensing Range: 8 mm unshielded detection distance for extended proximity applications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel Size \/ Type: 12 mm diameter, cylindrical screw-thread design for standard mounting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Type: Normally open (NO) configuration suitable for standard triggering logic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection: 4-pin DC Micro QD (quick disconnect) for fast wiring and replacement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Voltage: Supports up to 30 VDC for common control systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad Capacity: Handles up to 200 mA of output current.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency: Operates at 1300 Hz for high-speed detection response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Metal housing provides durability in industrial environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertifications: Compliant with CE, UL, CCC, KC, C-TICK, and RCM for global use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 872C-N8NP12-D4 is a durable and high-performance sensor suited for metallic target detection across manufacturing and process control environments.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Allen-Bradley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49105387782400,"sku":"872C-N8NP12-D4","price":157.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0388\/5331\/2557\/files\/shopping_49_809277a5-d39f-49d3-af95-ab55f737e64d.webp?v=1785546059","url":"https:\/\/alotechparts.com\/products\/872c-n8np12-d4-allen-bradley-proximity-sensor-3-wire-dc","provider":"Alo Tech Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
