LJ12A3 M12 inductive proximity switch, 2mm (flush) / 4mm (non-flush) sensing range. NPN/PNP, 2-wire/3-wire/4-wire NO/NC options. 6-36V DC, 300mA load, built-in LED, durable brass housing, ideal for industrial automation metal detection.
1. Specification
✅ Two Mounting Styles
- Flush (Flat Head): 2mm sensing range, can be fully recessed in metal panels.
- Non-Flush (High Head): 4mm sensing range, longer detection distance.
✅ Multiple Output Options
- NPN/PNP: 3-wire NO/NC or 4-wire NO+NC DC outputs.
- 2-wire DC/AC: Simple wiring for direct load connection.
✅ Reliable Industrial Performance
- Built-in short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.
- Nickel-plated brass housing for waterproof, oil-proof, and vibration resistance.
- Fast response time ≤ 2ms, suitable for high-speed automation.
✅ Clear Status Feedback
- Built-in LED indicator light: turns on when detecting metal (NO models), turns off when detecting (NC models).

NPN vs PNP Concept Explanation (Inductive Proximity Switches)
NPN vs PNP Concept Explanation
(For Inductive Proximity Switches)
-
NPN: Common positive voltage, outputs negative voltage (low-level signal).PNP: Common negative voltage, outputs positive voltage (high-level signal).
-
NPN NO (Normally Open): Normally open state when idle. When an object is detected, the black wire outputs a negative voltage signal.
-
NPN NC (Normally Closed): The black wire outputs a voltage signal in the normal state. When an object is detected, the output signal is disconnected.
-
PNP NO (Normally Open): Normally open state when idle. When an object is detected, the black wire outputs a positive voltage signal.
-
PNP NC (Normally Closed): The black wire outputs a positive voltage signal in the normal state. When an object is detected, the output signal is disconnected.
Quick Summary
| Type | Wiring Common | Output Signal | NO Behavior | NC Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NPN | V+ (Positive) | Low / Negative | Idle: Open, no signal
|
Idle: Closed, outputs signal
|
| PNP | 0V / GND (Negative) | High / Positive | Idle: Open, no signal
|
Idle: Closed, outputs signal
