Product Overview
Contrinex DW-AS-623-M5 is a miniature inductive proximity sensor in a 5 mm threaded stainless steel barrel. PNP normally open output, 10-30 VDC supply, 1.5 mm sensing range, flush embeddable mounting. M8 3-pin connector. IO-Link capable, UL Listed. Designed for non-contact metal detection in tight-clearance industrial applications where a full-size sensor body is not an option.

Frequently Asked Questions
What output type does this sensor use - PNP or NPN?
PNP, normally open. It sources current to the load when a metal target is within the 1.5 mm sensing range. NPN or normally closed control systems are not compatible without additional interface circuitry.
What connector does this sensor require?
M8 3-pin. A mating M8 cable is not included. Verify your control cabinet or field wiring uses M8 3-pin before ordering.
Is IO-Link confirmed on this unit?
Yes. IO-Link is printed on the bag label of this specific unit, confirmed from photos. Verify your IO-Link master is compatible with Contrinex Class A port devices before relying on IO-Link functionality.
Does this sensor detect non-metal targets?
No. Inductive sensors detect metallic objects only. Non-metallic materials - plastic, glass, wood - will not trigger the output regardless of proximity.
Is a mounting nut or hardware included?
A lock washer is included, visible in the sealed bag. No additional mounting hardware is included.
A 5 mm barrel does not leave much room for second-guessing - the sensing gap is exactly 1.5 mm, and the fit into a threaded bore is exact. This one ships sealed, washer and all, ready to go straight into the machine.
