The KG5303 is a PNP normally open capacitive sensor with IO-Link communication. It provides 0.5–30 mm adjustable sensing with a 15 mm factory setting. The sensor operates at 10–30 V DC and provides 30 Hz switching. Its M18 × 1 housing is designed for non-flush installation. The 2 m PUR cable and IP65/IP67/IP69K protection support demanding industrial automation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The sensor provides contactless detection of suitable solid and liquid targets. Its adjustable sensing range allows the switching point to be optimized. The 15 mm factory setting reduces commissioning effort. Capacitive sensing is useful where target color or surface appearance varies. The sensor provides repeatable position and level detection when correctly adjusted.
The KG5303 uses a PNP normally open output. Its 200 mA output capability supports standard industrial control inputs. Short-circuit and overload protection improve reliability. A 30 Hz switching rate supports repetitive detection. The output arrangement is suitable for PLC-controlled machinery.
IO-Link enables parameterization and process-data communication. The sensor can be configured through an IO-Link master. Diagnostic information can simplify maintenance. Parameter management is useful for multi-sensor production systems. This supports integration into modern automation architectures.
