Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ECH3010PPAT-1 High-Temperature Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ECH3010PPAT-1 is a specialised high-temperature capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact material detection in applications where conventional proximity sensors cannot tolerate the process temperature. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ECH series, it combines a separate amplifier with an M30 sensing head manufactured from stainless steel and PTFE for demanding industrial processes.
The sensor head is designed for extreme-temperature applications from -196 to +180 °C, making the ECH3010PPAT-1 particularly suitable for plastic pellet and resin detection in injection moulding and drying equipment, as well as other hot or cryogenic material-monitoring applications. Its separate sensor and amplifier arrangement allows the sensing head to operate at extreme temperatures while the electronics remain remotely positioned.
The ECH3010PPAT-1 offers an adjustable sensing distance of 4–15 mm, factory set to approximately 10 mm, and operates from a 10–40 V DC supply. It provides complementary PNP normally open and normally closed outputs, an M12 plug connection and IP67 protection for dependable integration into industrial automation systems.

Reliable Detection in Extreme-Temperature Processes
High-temperature capacitive proximity sensors are valuable where materials must be detected without mechanical contact while the sensing point is exposed to temperatures beyond the capabilities of conventional electronic sensors. The ECH3010PPAT-1 addresses this requirement with a separate high-temperature sensing head and amplifier architecture.
Its adjustable capacitive sensing system can be configured for different target materials and process conditions. The exceptionally broad temperature capability of the sensing head makes the ECH3010PPAT-1 particularly useful in plastics processing, drying equipment and applications involving hot, cold, granular or other difficult-to-detect materials.
