Technical Datasheet: TURCK Ni12U-MT18-AP6X-H11141

Series: uprox®+ (Extended Range Factor 1 Sensor)

Ident-No.: 1645240

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Inductive Proximity Sensor

• Housing Design: Threaded barrel type (M18 × 1) with a robust chrome-plated or Marine-grade Brass barrel construction (MT designator).

• Sensing Range (s_n): 12 mm (Extended sensing range for M18 size)

• Mounting: Non-flush mountable (indicated by the non-flush installation graphic layout on the packaging label and the unthreaded smooth front tip exposed on the right).

• Special Features: uprox®+ technology (Factor 1) — detects all magnetic and non-magnetic metals (steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum, copper) at the exact same extended distance of 12 mm without any reduction factor. It features exceptional immunity to strong magnetic fields (weld-field immune), making it ideal for harsh automated body shops, heavy welding lines, and sorting machinery.

2. Electrical Data

• Rated Current Consumption: ≤ 200 mA

• Electrical Design: DC PNP

• Output Function: Normally Open (NO)

• Protection Class: Class II Connection required / Double insulated (UL Listed / CSA Certified)

3. Performance & Dynamic Data

• Switching Frequency: High response frequency optimized for high-speed target verification, tracking loops, and rapid cyclic counting.

• Short-Circuit Protection (SCP): Yes

• Overload & Reverse Polarity Protection: Yes

4. Mechanical & Environmental Data

• Dimensions: M18 × 1 mm thread / Standard industrial barrel length

• Ingress Protection (IP Rating): IP68 / IP69K

• Country of Origin: Made in Germany

• Item Code / Batch: 1636B

• Included Accessories: Mounting nuts and tooth lock washers (visible inside the right section of the pouch).

5. Electrical Connection & Wiring Layout

The sensor features an integrated standard male circular connector head (M12 × 1, 3-pin configuration).

Pinout Assignment:

• Pin 1 (BN): Brown wire → + (10…30 V DC Power Supply)

• Pin 3 (BU): Blue wire → – (0 V Ground / Common)

• Pin 4 (BK): Black wire → Output Switching Signal (Load)
