ItemPerformance characteristics
CE Marking Directive ComplianceEMC Directive, RoHS Directive
Max. Operation Distance1 mm 0.039 in plus or minus 15%
(Note) 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 fluctuation.
Stable Sensing Range0 to 0.8 mm 0 to 0.031 in
(Note) 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 fluctuation.
