E51 Modular Limit Switch Style Sensors
Product Description
The E51 Inductive Proximity
Sensor family from
Eaton’s
Electrical Sector combines
high performance with a
familiar limit switch style
housing. Modular, plug-in
components provide
application flexibility, ease of
maintenance, less downtime
and reduced inventory.
Choose from two-wire
sensors with AC/DC
operation, or four-wire
sensors in either AC or DC
styles. Connection
options
include terminal, mini-
connector or various lengths
of cable.
Choose from standard
sensors that detect all types
of metallic targets. The next
page provides more detail on
these sensors.
