IFM Sensors Capacitive Sensor

KD5022 - Capacitive sensor - KD-3060-BPKG/NI

The IFM KD5022 is a rectangular PNP capacitive sensor designed for long-range material detection. It provides a 60 mm sensing range with a normally closed output. The sensor operates from 10 to 36 V DC and provides a 250 mA continuous output. Its 120 × 80 × 30 mm housing provides a larger detection format for industrial equipment. A 2 m PVC cable and IP65 protection support practical machine installation.

Detection Range

The KD5022 provides a 60 mm sensing range for non-contact detection. Its actual sensing range is 60 ±10%, with an operating distance of 0 to 48.6 mm. Hysteresis is 1 to 15% of Sr. Switch-point drift is -15 to 15%. Correction factors are provided for glass, water, ceramics and PVC.

PNP Normally Closed Output

The sensor uses a PNP normally closed output. It operates from 10 to 36 V DC with approximately 15 mA current consumption at 24 V. Continuous output current is 250 mA and switching frequency is 10 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are included. Reverse polarity protection is also provided.

Mechanical Construction

The KD5022 uses a rectangular modified-PPE housing measuring 120 × 80 × 30 mm. It is designed for non-flush installation and has IP65 protection. The ambient temperature range is -25 to 50°C. A yellow LED provides status indication. The sensor uses a 2 m PVC cable with three 0.5 mm² conductors.

Large Housing Advantage

The 120 × 80 × 30 mm format provides a broad mechanical platform for industrial mounting. The 60 mm sensing range supports detection of larger targets and material levels. The normally closed PNP output can be integrated into control circuits requiring inverse switching. The yellow LED provides direct visual feedback. The modified-PPE housing supports industrial machine installation.

Cable Connection

The 2 m PVC cable provides direct connection to the control system. Three 0.5 mm² conductors provide the required PNP wiring arrangement. Brown, black and blue conductors identify the main electrical connections. The fixed cable configuration reduces the need for a separate sensor cordset. This is useful for standard machine installations where a fixed cable is preferred.
