VC12RT23010M Carlo Gavazzi 230VAC 12mm SPDT Capacitive Sensor

Description

Carlo Gavazzi VC12RT23010M is a 32 mm cylindrical capacitive proximity sensor featuring a 230 VAC nominal power supply, an adjustable 4 to 12 mm sensing range, and an SPDT relay output. Constructed with a smooth thermoplastic polyester housing, this non-flush mountable device integrates a built-in OFF-delay timer adjustable from 1 second to 10 minutes. The hardware utilizes a 2 m PVC cable for electrical connection and operates at a 1 Hz switching frequency with a maximum power consumption of 1.5 W. The sensor is IP67-rated for environmental protection and includes a yellow LED indicator for precise output status monitoring.
