Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi EC5525NPAP is a flatpack capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation. This non-flush mountable sensor offers an adjustable sensing range from 4mm up to 25mm, providing flexibility for various application needs. It operates on a wide DC power supply range of 10-40VDC, ensuring compatibility with diverse control systems. The EC5525NPAP features an NPN output, supporting both normally open (N.O.) and normally closed (N.C.) configurations for versatile integration into existing circuits. Constructed with a durable PVC cable and housed in a compact 35 x 15 x 55mm unit, this sensor is built for demanding environments. Its IP67 rating signifies robust protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for washdown areas and dusty conditions. The Tripleshield technology enhances its performance by improving EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) characteristics, reducing susceptibility to electrical noise and interference, which is critical for stable operation in electrically noisy industrial settings. Carlo Gavazzi's commitment to quality is evident in the robust design and reliable performance of the EC5525NPAP, making it a dependable choice for proximity sensing tasks.
