Product description

The Allen Bradley 872C-NH8NP12-D4 is an inductive proximity sensor featuring an 8mm barrel diameter and a 12mm sensing face. It is housed in nickel-plated brass and provides a Normally Closed (NC) output for 120V AC operation. This sensor is designed for reliable detection of metallic objects with a slightly extended sensing range.

This NC output sensor is suitable for various industrial applications, including position sensing, presence detection in safety circuits, and material handling systems where a normally closed contact is preferred for specific logic.

Replaces / compatible with

This sensor can replace other Allen Bradley 872C series sensors with an 8mm barrel and 12mm sensing face, specifically when a normally closed output is required.

Technical note

Expert tip

The 12mm sensing face on an 8mm barrel offers a good balance for applications that need more reach than a standard 8mm sensing face but require the smaller 8mm barrel for mounting.
