Fargo Controls, Inc. 5 mm Diameter Inductive Sensor with Increased Sensing Distance S3906

The S3906 is a 5 mm diameter inductive sensor with an extended operating distance of 1.5 mm, designed for DC 3-wire applications. It features a stainless steel case, flush mounting capability, and an LED function indicator. The sensor operates on a power supply of 10 to 30 Vdc, with a maximum switching current of 200 mA and a voltage drop of less than 1.5 V when active. It has a power drain of less than 8 mA at 24 Vdc, an operating frequency of 2 kHz, and provides short circuit and reverse polarity protection. The device meets IP67 protection standards, is rated for temperatures from -25 to +70 °C, and uses a 2-meter cable with a C1 pigtail connector. Repeatability is within ±1% of the sensing distance, and hysteresis is less than 15%.
