CNTD CJF square inductive proximity sensors detect metal targets at 5–15mm nominal distances. The standard range combines ABS housings, IP67 protection, red operating indicators and 2m free-ended cables. Five housing groups offer NPN, PNP and DC two-wire models; the three larger groups also provide AC two-wire versions. Select the output circuit and operating gap together.
In each cell below, the first model is normally open and the second is normally closed. DNA/DNB identify NPN outputs, DPA/DPB identify PNP outputs, DLA/DLB identify DC two-wire circuits, and AKA/AKB identify AC two-wire circuits.

CJF30 and CJF40 setting ranges differ by circuit. Use the selected circuit's entry when setting the target gap. AC response frequency is 20Hz. Frequency values are averages measured with the standard iron target, successive targets separated by twice the target width, and a sensing gap equal to half the nominal distance.

For the listed NPN/PNP sensors, connect brown to +V, blue to 0V and black to the switching input. The NPN load connects between +V and black; the PNP load connects between black and 0V. Two-wire sensors connect in series with the load, which may be placed in either lead. Use 90–250VAC for the listed AC models. Circuit drawings and NO/NC operating waveforms are included in the attachment.
