Eaton E51 Modular Inductive Proximity Sensor, Zinc Die-Cast NEMA-Rated

The Eaton E51 Modular Inductive Proximity Sensor is a NEMA limit-switch replacement designed for reliable, non-contact position sensing in demanding industrial environments. Built with a die cast zinc receptacle and housing, this inductive proximity sensor operates on a 10-30 Vdc input, delivers a 600 mA maximum DC current and contact rating, and carries a broad NEMA 3/3S/4/4X/6/6P/12/13 environmental rating plus an IP67 rating, all backed by UL Listing.

Key Features

  • Compact Modular Design: Product dimensions of 1.78 in width, 1.54 in length/depth, and 4.53 in height suit tight mounting locations.
  • Durable Construction: Receptacle and housing built from die cast zinc for long-term strength and corrosion resistance.
  • Screw Terminal Connection: Simplifies field wiring and maintenance.
  • Input Voltage: Operates on 10-30 Vdc with a 600 mA maximum DC current and 600 mA contact rating.
  • Contact Configuration: Complementary NPN open collector output with a programmable output selector switch for N.O. or N.C. operation.
  • Actuator Function: Unshielded sensing face for flexible target detection.
  • LED Indicator: Lights when the output is ON for quick status verification.
