LJC38A4-20-Z/BX Cylindrical capacitive proximity switch for Accurate Object Detection

The LJC38A4-20 is an M38 cylindrical capacitive proximity sensor with a detection range of up to 20mm. It features a built-in sensitivity adjustment knob at the rear and can detect metals, plastics, liquids, powders, granules, and other non-metallic materials. Utilizing high-frequency capacitive sensing technology, it has no mechanical contacts, responds quickly, and has a long service life. It is compatible with mainstream PLCs and industrial control systems, providing stable output and strong anti-interference performance. The housing is made of nickel-plated brass with PVC encapsulation, is waterproof and dustproof to IP67 standards, resistant to oil and moisture, and suitable for complex industrial environments involving dust, liquids, and materials. The standard M38 threaded installation allows for easy assembly and wiring. It is widely used for material level detection, liquid level control, granular shortage alarms, packaging inspection, building materials automation, food machinery, and positioning detection of non-metallic objects on assembly lines, making it a commonly used and cost-effective industrial automation detection switch.[eos]

    Working Principle

    The sensing surface of a capacitive proximity switch is composed of two coaxial metal electrodes, which act like the electrodes of a non-linear capacitor and are connected in series within an RC oscillation circuit. When no object is nearby, the RC oscillator does not oscillate. When an object approaches the electrodes, the dielectric constant between the object and the electrodes changes, causing the capacitance to increase and the oscillator to start oscillating. Through subsequent circuitry, the signals of oscillation and non-oscillation are converted into a switch signal, thereby detecting the presence or absence of an object.
