Carlo Gavazzi EI5515NPAP-1 is a non-flush flat-pack polycarbonate inductive proximity sensor with a 15 mm sensing distance, NPN NO+NC change-over output, 10–32 V DC supply, 4-pin M12 connector and IP67 protection for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi EI5515NPAP-1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi EI5515NPAP-1 is a compact flat-pack inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its rectangular polycarbonate housing measures 35 × 55 × 15 mm and provides a practical alternative to cylindrical sensors where a low-profile mounting format is preferred.
The EI5515NPAP-1 provides a rated operating distance of 15 mm and features an NPN NO+NC change-over output. Its non-flush sensing configuration provides extended-range metallic-target detection, while the complementary normally open and normally closed outputs offer flexibility when interfacing with compatible machine controls and PLC inputs.
Operating from a 10–32 V DC rated supply, the sensor supports an output current up to 200 mA and a maximum operating frequency of 250 Hz. A 4-pin M12 connector, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C support straightforward integration into demanding industrial automation applications.

Extended-Range Flat-Pack Sensing for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic sensing field and responding when a conductive target enters the active sensing area. Because detection takes place without mechanical contact, this technology helps minimise physical wear and provides dependable operation for repetitive position, presence and machine-status monitoring.
The EI5515NPAP-1 combines a 15 mm sensing distance with a compact flat-pack polycarbonate housing and complementary NPN NO+NC outputs. Its 4-pin M12 connector enables convenient connection and replacement, making the sensor suitable for machinery, conveyors, production equipment and compatible PLC-based automation systems.
Typical Applications
Industrial machinery position detection.
Metal component presence sensing.
Conveyor and material handling systems.
Automated assembly and production equipment.
Packaging and processing machinery.
Machine limit and position monitoring.
PLC-based industrial automation systems.
