The LCA series consists of miniature capacitive proximity sensors requiring an external amplifier for operation. These sensors feature adjustable sensing distances ranging from 0.1 mm to 8 mm depending on the model, with a switching frequency of 100 Hz and an ambient temperature range of -30 to +70°C. The protection class is IP67 for the sensor housing, and the connection is via a 2 m, 3 x 0.14 mm² PUR cable. Housing dimensions include 4 mm, M5, M8, 10 mm, 18 mm, 22 mm, and 30 mm variants, with flush or non-flush mounting options. The sensors operate with a supply voltage of 4 to 8 VDC from an external amplifier.
Capacitive Miniature Proximity Sensors - WAFER HOUSING
The wafer design is basically the size of a thick coin, a great solution for applications where sensor body length is a concern.
Sometimes the smallest components have the biggest effects on equipment and system functions. At Locon, we offer a wide range of miniature capacitive sensors, in cylindrical or wafer-style housings, designed to fit in compact spaces. Due to their small size an external amplifier is required for sensor operation. The amps, sold separately, are available in a variety of outputs to best fit your application needs.
