Inductive Proximity Switches
ECG Inductive Proximity Switches are precision, solid-state sensing
devices that provide an attractive alternative to physically activated
limit and control switches with their mechanical contacts, moving
parts and attendant wear characteristics. ECG Proximity Switches
are fully sealed against most hostile industrial environments. They
are impervious to oils, organic cleaners, steam, water and dust as
well as being immune to vibration. Usual positioning and operational
constraints are virtually eliminated, while life span remains unaffected
by problems related to mechanical wear.
Proximity switches will operate electromechanical devices such as
relays, contactors, solenoids, counters and valves without
additional interface components. Also, DC types provide an
output compatible with solid state loads, including programmable
controllers. Proximity switches offer reliable and long-lived
operation in applications as diverse as machine tools, conveyors,
automated warehouses, wood working machines, robotics, farm
machinery, packaging equipment, production lines and general
automation. Philips ECG offers a broad range of types to meet the
variety of users’ needs.
Operating Principle
An inductive proximity switch has three functional sections or
stages, as shown in Figure 1. They are: a radio frequency (RF)
oscillator circuit that incorporates a coil with a ferrite core, a
Schmidt trigger circuit, and a solid state output switching device
(transistor in DC types, thyristor in AC types).

Sensing Distance (Sn)
This is the distance at which a metallic target approaching the active
face in the Axial plane (“head-on”) activates the switch, Figure 3.
Sensing Distance
Sensing Characteristics
The target can approach the switch in either of two ways, as
illustrated in Figure 2. In the Axial plane the target approaches
“head-on” along the major axis of the switch, perpendicular to the
active face. In the Radial plane the target approaches and/or
“slides by” the switch along a path parallel to the active face.

STANDARD TARGET - See Text
Sensing Distance is affected by target size, shape and composition.
Therefore, catalog values are given for a Standard Target. This is a
square of mild steel (low carbon) 1.0 mm thick with side
measurements equal to the diameter of the switch or three times
the sensing distance, whichever is greater.
Targets which are smaller than the Standard Target, not flat or
made of non-ferrous metal will reduce the Sensing Distance. It
should be noted that if the target is larger than the Standard Target
the Sensing Distance will not be increased.
Correction Factors - Non-Ferrous Metals: ECG proximity
switches will detect all metals, but have a greater sensitivity to
ferrous metals. If non-ferrous metals are to be detected, a shorter
Sensing Distance must be used.Listed below are approximate
correction factors for certain non-ferrous metals.
Material

SENSING FIELD
The oscillator circuit generates an electromagnetic field which is
radiated from the active face of the switch. A metal object (target)
introduced into this sensing field absorbs energy from the
oscillator which, in turn, reduces the amplitude of oscillation. The
trigger circuit detects the reduction and in response produces a
signal that closes the output stage switching device. When the
target leaves the sensing field the oscillator regenerates and the
switch resets.
ECG Inductive Proximity Switches are responsive to all electrically
conductive materials. They cannot, however, distinguish between
different materials.
Fig. 2
In practice, the target should not come in contact with the switch.
A minimum separation between the target and active face is
prerequisite and should be assured at all times to prevent
mechanical wear.

Sensing Distance vs. Switch Size: Sensing Distance is also

greater the Sensing Distance. Philips ECG offers a broad range of

Axial and Radial Sensing Characteristics
Sensing characteristics in the Axial (head-on) and Radial (slide-by)
actuation modes are illustrated in Figure 4.
Axial Mode: In this mode or plane note that there is a difference in
the distance at which the switch activates (closes) as the target
approaches and the distance at which the switch deactivates
(opens) as the target recedes. This characteristic is referred to as
Switching Hysteresis and is typically 15 percent of the Sensing
Distance (Sn). Hysteresis provides compensation for target
vibration and minor surface irregularities that might otherwise
cause false signals.
Radial Mode: In this mode, the distance between the active face
of the switch and the target should not exceed 81 per-cent of the
specified Sensing Distance (Sn) of the particular switch. Operation
within this zone is assured and is independent of variations, within
ratings, of temperature and voltage.

etc., at switching rates up to 15 operations per second,
depending on the switch type.
Both shielded and unshielded styles are offered by Philips ECG in
12, 18 and 30 mm sizes with sensing distance of 2 to 15 mm, and
operating voltage ranges of 35 to 250 VAC and 90 to 250 VAC.
Maximum load current of all types is 250 mA.
AC switches are available both with and without
Ground, Figure 7. Operation is identical. When not sensing a
target, the output is open (non-conductive). When a metal target
enters the sensing field the output closes (becomes conductive)
and energizes the load.
Switching Frequency
Switching Frequency represents the maximum number of targets
per second that a proximity switch is capable of detecting. As
shown in Figure 5, it is specified for the Radial actuation mode
(slide-by) at a sensing distance of 0.5 Sn with a Standard Target and
a pulse-to-pause ratio of 1:2.

Shielded and Unshielded Styles
ECG proximity switches are available in two styles: Shielded and
Unshielded. The distinguishing characteristics are illustrated in
Figure 6.
Shielded (Flush Mounting): This style of switch has the active
face essentially even with the threaded end of the switch housing,
Figure 6A. The shielded design can be flush mounted in metal with
no change in performance characteristics.
Unshielded (Non-Flush Mounting): As shown in Figure 613,
the active face of the unshielded switch extends well beyond the
threaded end of the housing, thus exposing a larger area from
which the electromagnetic sensing field can radiate. This style is
somewhat side sensitive and, consequently, can not be flush
mounted in metal. A metal-free zone about the sensing face is
required as described in the Section Mounting and Installation.

DC Types
DC proximity switches offer the advantages of high switching
frequency (up to 1000 Hz in the 8mm size), low voltage drop and
minimal leakage current. In addition, their output is compatible
with solid state loads, including programmable controllers. They
can also be used to directly drive electro-mechanical devices,
such as relays, counters, etc. Operation in combination with
mechanical contacts is also practical. DC proximity switches do
require a separate power supply; however, regulation is not
generally necessary.
Both shielded and unshielded switch styles are supplied by Philips
ECG in 8, 12, 18 and 30 mm sizes with sensing distances of 1.5 to
15 mm, an operating voltage range of 10-30 VDC and a
maximum load current capability of 200 mA.
Switching configurations include PNP Normal Open, NPN
Normal Open, and PNP Complementary.
PNP Normal Open (Current Sourcing) - Figure 8: The
load is tied to the Negative (common) side of the power
supply. The output transistor switches the positive side of the
supply to the load. The PNP output function is also known as
Current Sourcing since the current for the load is “sourced” by
the proximity switch.
PNP Normal Open (Current Sourcing)
AC Types
130
LOAD
BLU
When the switch is open, a small leakage current (1.5 mA max.)
flows through the load. When closed, there is a voltage drop across
the output of up to 8.5 volts. These characteristics must be taken
into consideration, especially when several proximity switches are
to be connected in series or parallel (see section entitled Series
and Parallel Operation). Operation in combination with
switches that have mechanical contacts is also feasible.
AC proximity switches are not protected against voltage or
current overload. Accidental short circuit of the load in the closed
(conductive) state will destroy the switch. Also, power should
never be applied to the switch in the absence of a load. Protection
is provided against RFI (radio frequency interference).
Switch Configurations
AC proximity switches are 2-terminal, normally open devices
which are powered by line voltage. No secondary (external)
power source is needed. This feature permits them to be directly
substituted for electromechanical limit switches without

NPN Normal Open (Current Sinking) - Figure 9: The load
is tied to the Positive side of the power supply. The output
transistor switches the negative (common) supply line to the
load. The NPN output function is also known as Current Sinking
since the current passes through the load first and “sinks”
through the switch.
When not sensing a target, the output of both PNP and NPN
models is open (non-conductive). It closes (becomes conductive)
when a target is sensed.

recommended. A combination of mechanical contact switches and
proximity switches is possible.
DC Switches: Series connection of DC proximity switches is
shown in Figures 12 and 13 for normally open types with PNP
(sourcing) and NPN (sinking) output functions.
A voltage drop of up to 2.5 volts occurs with each switch
connected in series. Therefore, the voltage available to the load
will be reduced by this amount by each switch in the string. Each
proximity switch must be capable of supplying the deactivated
(“standby”) current of the other switches, as well as the external
load current. Proximity switches can be applied in combination
with mechanical contact switches.

Most electromechanical loads (relays, counters, etc.) will
accommodate either PNP or NPN types, providing they are
correctly wired. The proper output function must be chosen for
solid state loads and programmable controllers. For series and
parallel operation, and application in combination with mechanical
contacts, see section entitled Series and Parallel Operation.
Power Supply: Regulation of supply voltage is not required
providing rated switch Operating Voltage is maintained within the
limits specified. Supply Voltage Ripple must not exceed 15% of
the Operating Voltage.
Protective Features: DC proximity switches are protected
against accidental polarity reversal, as well as short circuit of the
load. They are also immune to RFI (radio frequency interference).

AC Switches: Series operation of AC proximity switches is
shown in Figure I1. Care must be taken to assure that there is
sufficient voltage to the load for it to operate properly. In the
closed (conductive) state there is a drop in voltage (loss) across
each switch of 8-9 volts at maximum rated current. As the
number of switches in series is increased, the loss becomes
appreciable and can be enough to prevent the load from
operating as it should. It is recommended that no more than four
switches be wired in series at 240 VAC and no more than two
switches at 120VAC. Series operation below 90 VAC is not

Parallel Connection
AC Switches: Parallel connection of AC proximity switches is
illustrated in Figure 14. The number of switches that can be
paralleled is a function of switch leakage current (up to 1.5 mA
max. each) and the load impedance. The sum of the leakage
currents must be less than the dropout current of the load.
It must be noted that when any of the switches connected in
parallel is closed, the remaining switches will then function in an
“exclusive OR” mode. That is, if another switch senses that it
should close after the first one does, the second switch will be
prevented from doing so until 100 mS after the first switch opens.
When connecting AC proximity switches in parallel with
mechanical contacts, potentially damaging transient voltage
spikes may be produced when interrupting inductive loads, e.g.,
contactors, relays, solenoids. To prevent damage to the
switch from these voltage spikes, surge suppressors should be
used at the source of the spikes.

DC Switches: Proximity switches can be operated in parallel to
give an “OR” function. Circuits are shown in Figures 15 and 16 for
normally open switches with PNP (sourcing) and NPN (sinking)
output functions.
The isolation diodes shown are essential with proximity switches
that have built-in LED status indicators. Otherwise, all the LEDs
will light when one switch closes. Also, without the diodes, each
switch must be capable of supplying the deactivated current
(“standby current”) of all the switches, as well as the current
required by the external load.
When connecting DC proximity switches in parallel with
mechanical contacts, potentially damaging transient voltage
spikes may be produced when interrupting inductive loads. To
protect against damage from these voltage spikes and
possible false operation, surge suppressors should be used at the
source of the spikes.

Shielded (Flush Mounting): Shielded proximity switches can
be embedded in metal up to the plane of its active face (flush
mounted) without operational limitations, Figure 17A.
Unshielded (Non-Flush Mounting): The unshielded style of
proximity switch requires a metal-free zone around the active
face, as illustrated in Figure 17B. This area must be kept free of
conductive metals or other materials that possess magnetic
properties. The depth should measure no less than the diameter
of the switch housing. The diameter of the metal- free zone
should be at least three times that of the switch housing.

However, they must be spaced far enough apart to prevent the

be spaced on centers a minimum distance of twice the diameter
of the switch housing, Figure 18A. Unshielded switches should be

Installation - Torquing
It is recommended that ECG proximity switches be clamped in
position using two nuts (and lock washers when specified), one
on each side of the mounting surface. If these nuts are
overtightened, it is possible to damage the switch housing.
Therefore, care should be taken not to exceed the torque values
given in the following table:

CAUTION: Especially high transient voltages can be introduced
by cables which carry high currents for motors, solenoids,
clutches, etc. These could cause damage to the proximity switch
or activate its short circuit protection. This can be minimized by
separating switch wiring from such cables.
Terms and Definitions
Active Face: The surface of the proximity switch from which the sensing
field is radiated. Also known as “sensing surface”.
Complementary Output: A DC operated proximity switch with both
Normally Open (N.O.) and Normally Closed (N.C.) outputs that change
state simultaneously when a target is detected.
Current Consumption - Activated: Current drawn by a DC
proximity switch with no load when its output is CLOSED (conductive
state). Value given is at maximum rated Operating Voltage. Also known as
“damped” current consumption and “standby” current.
Current Consumption - Deactivated: Current drawn by a DC
proximity switch with no load when its output is OPEN (non-
conductive state). Value given is at maximum rated Operating Voltage. Also
known as “undamped” current consumption.
Eddy Currents: Small circulating currents induced in the surface of
a metallic target by the sensing field (flux) from an inductive
proximity switch.
Excitation Delay: The length of time required for a proximity switch to
become operational upon the application of power.
Inrush Current: The maximum Load Current that an AC proximity
switch can withstand for a short duration (20 mS) when the switch is
CLOSED (conductive state).
Leakage Current: The amount of current that flows through an AC
proximity switch when it is OPEN (non-conductive state).
Load Current - Maximum: The highest value of current at which AC
and DC proximity switches can be continuously operated. Exceeding this
rating may cause permanent damage to the switch.
Load Current - Minimum: The amount of current that the load of an
AC proximity switch must draw when CLOSED (conductive state) in
order for the switch to operate properly, i.e., reset when deactivated.
N/C: No connection.
N.C. (Normal Closed): A proximity switch with a normally closed
output that OPENS (becomes non-conductive) when a target is detected.
Also known as a “break” switching configuration or function.
N.O. (Normal Open): A proximity switch with a normally open output
that CLOSES (becomes conductive) when a target is detected. Also known
as a “make” switching configuration or function.
NPN (Current Sinking): A negative switching output in which the
load current passes through the load first, then “sinks” through the
proximity switch.
Operating Temperature: The range in ambient temperature over which
the proximity switch can be operated. Operation outside the given limits
will result in instability and possible permanent damage to the switch.
Operating Voltage: The range of voltage that can be used to operate a
proximity switch. Also called “supply” voltage.
Output Resistance: Value of resistance internal to a DC proximity
switch that appears in parallel with the external load resistance. When the
output stage of the switch is OPEN (non-conductive) it is the resistance
“seen” by the load.
Parallel Capacitance to Load: Maximum permissible value of
capacitance in parallel with the load of a DC proximity switch.
PNP (Current Sourcing): A positive switching transistor output in
which the current for the load “sources” through the proximity switch.
Repeatability: Ability of a proximity switch to repeatedly detect a target
at the same distance from the Active Face. Expressed as a percentage of
Sensing Distance (Sn).
Sensing Distance (Sn): The nominal distance (± 10%) at which a
proximity switch will detect a target approaching in a plane perpendicular
to the Active Face. Specified at an Operating Temperature of 25°C with a
Standard Target. Also known as “operating point”.
Shielded: A style of proximity switch that has its Active Face even with
the end of the switch housing and can be flush mounted in metal.
Standard Target: A reference used for calibration and initial setup.
Consists of a square of low-carbon steel 1.0 mm thick with side
measurements equal to the diameter of the switch or three times the
specified Sensing Distance (Sn), whichever is greater.
Supply Voltage Ripple: The maximum permissible peak-to-peak AC
voltage component superimposed on the average value of DC voltage,
expressed in percent.
Switching Frequency: The maximum number of targets (objects) per
second that the proximity switch is capable of detecting. Catalog value is
based on a Standard Target at a distance of 0.5 Sn and a pulse-to-pause
ratio of 1:2.
Switching Hysteresis: The difference between switching points of an
approaching and a receding target in the axial plane. Expressed as a
percentage of the specified Sensing Distance (Sn). Also called “differential”.
Unshielded: A style of proximity switch that has its active face extended
beyond the end of the switch housing. Unshielded switches are somewhat
side-sensitive and cannot be flush mounted in metal.
Voltage Drop: The voltage “lost” across the output stage of a proximity
switch when the switch is CLOSED (conductive state). Catalog value is at
maximum rated Operating Voltage and Load Current.
