Inductive Proximity Sensor LJ8A3-4-Z/BX

Description

Overview

• The inductive proximity sensor uses the principle of electromagnetic radiation to detect or metallic objects.
• These sensors can work even in wet environments without failing.
• It creates an electromagnetic field when current is passed through it.
• Metals unlike plastics are able to disrupt this field, giving us the ability to detect metals.
• It can also be interfaced with microcontrollers such as the Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32 etc…

NB: It is most effective with ferrous metals
