Connection Methods
Magnetic field sensors can be electrically integrated into plants in various ways. Various sensor versions with fixed cables with plugs or with connector plugs are available in various designs as standard.
Fixed Cable with Connector
This type of sensor features a fixed cable that can be preassembled. Sensors with fixed cable are affordable versions, since they do not require an additional single-ended female cordset and keep the number of connection points to a minimum.
This type of magnetic field sensor does not have a special marking in the type code.
Electrical Versions and Typical Switching Examples
The following table provides an overview of common magnetic field sensors with regard to the electrical design, sensor type, switching examples, and typical data.

Sensor Types: Core Colors and Pinout According to EN 60947-5-2
The section below provides an overview of the pinout and core colors of the magnetic field sensors.
The pinout numbers correspond to the numbering of the pins on the connector plugs. This does not apply to proximity sensors for AC and those with three-pin 8 mm plugs.
Switches without protective insulation require a protective conductor terminal for voltages above 50 V AC and 120 V DC.
