Product Description

LJ12A34Z/BX Inductive Proximity Sensor

Non-Contact Metal Detection Switch for Automation Projects

The LJ12A34Z/BX is a cylindrical proximity sensor that detects metal objects without physical contact. When a ferrous metal enters its detection zone, the internal magnetic field changes, causing the sensor to output a signal [citation:8][citation:12]. It can also detect non-ferrous metals like copper or aluminum but at a reduced distance [citation:2][citation:11].

Reliable NonContact Detection Detects metal objects without wear or physical contact
Wide Operating Voltage - Supports 6V to 36V DC power range
Output Type: NPN normally open (NO). Output is LOW (0V) when idle, HIGH when detecting metal.
Detection Distance: 4mm for mild steel (shorter for other metals)
Wiring: Brown (VCC), Blue (GND), Black (Signal)
Use with Arduino, ESP32, or PLC for automation, 3D printer auto-leveling, and CNC limit switches [citation:11][citation:12].
This sensor operates at *6-36V*, which can damage a 5V microcontroller pin. A voltage divider is necessary when connecting to Arduino or similar 5V logic boards [citation:12].
