Detecting plastic parts, powders, pellets or liquid levels takes a sensor that isn't limited to metal targets. The HTM Sensors CCM1-1808P-ARU4 is an M18 shielded capacitive proximity sensor with a 2 to 8 mm sensing range, PNP normally open output and an M12 A-coded 4-pin connector. Controls technicians and OEM builders use it on hoppers, conveyors and packaging lines.
Why controls technicians pick it
- Capacitive sensing picks up non-metallic materials such as plastics, powders and liquids.
- Shielded M18 body mounts flush and senses from 2 to 8 mm.
- PNP normally open output handles loads up to 300 mA.
- Short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection.
- IP67 chrome-plated brass housing with a PBT sensing face and quick-disconnect M12 connector.

Pro tip from the counter
A PNP output sources positive voltage to the load, so it pairs with sinking-type PLC input cards. Check the input card before ordering; if it expects a sinking (NPN) sensor, this one won't switch it, and you'll want HTM's NPN version of the same body.
Best for: level detection in hoppers and bins, plastic part detection, packaging and conveyor lines, OEM machine builders
