The KG5309 is a PNP normally open capacitive sensor with IO-Link communication. It provides an adjustable 0.5–30 mm sensing range and a 15 mm factory setting. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC and switches at 30 Hz. Its M18 × 1 threaded body supports non-flush installation. IP65/IP67/IP69K protection provides broad industrial environmental coverage.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The sensor provides non-contact detection using capacitive technology. Its adjustable sensing range allows precise setup. The 15 mm factory value provides a useful starting point. It can be applied to suitable solids and liquids. The adjustment feature helps compensate for target and installation differences.
The KG5309 uses a PNP normally open output. It supports a 200 mA continuous switching load. Short-circuit and overload protection improve operating reliability. Its 30 Hz switching rate supports fast repetitive detection. The configuration is suitable for PLC-based machine control.
IO-Link provides digital sensor communication. Parameters can be configured electronically. Process data can be transmitted to the automation controller. Diagnostics can help identify installation or operating problems. This makes the KG5309 suitable for smart automation systems.

The sensor provides IP65, IP67, and IP69K protection. This supports installations exposed to dust, moisture, and cleaning conditions. The M18 threaded body provides secure mounting. The operating temperature is -25 to 80°C. This makes it suitable for demanding production areas.
IO-Link allows sensor settings to be managed through the automation system. This reduces dependence on manual adjustment. Diagnostic information can be used during maintenance. Parameters can be standardized across multiple sensors. The sensor therefore fits connected production architectures.
