Datasheet

M12 plug-in connector type is also available.
When ordering this type, “-Z” for the M12 plug-in connector type to the model No.
(e.g.) M12 plug-in connector type of GX-M8A-P is “GX-M8A-P-Z”.
M12 pigtailed type is also available.
When ordering this type, “-J” for the M12 pigtailed type to the model No.
(e.g.) M12 pigtailed type of GX-M8A-U is “GX-M8A-U-J”.
M12 plug-in connector type (except for GX-M8□-U and GX-ML8□-U)
M12 pigtailed type (for GX-M8□-U and GX-ML8□-U only, On sale soon)
Notes: 1) It is the value in state where the circumference of a detection side has a metal object.
2) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient
temperature drift and/or supply voltage uctuation.
