Model KG5307 capacitive sensor, threaded type, 10 to 30 V DC supply, NPN output, Key benefits Reliable detection of nonmetal and metallic targets by sensing changes in dielectric properties. Useful where optical sensors are blocked by dust or where mechanical switches cause wear. Simple electrical integration: operates from 10 to 30 V DC and provides an NPN switching output compatible with many control inputs and PLCs. Spacesaving threaded form factor for secure, repeatable mounting in panels, brackets, or fixtures. Consistent switching behavior suitable for level sensing, presence detection, and automated assembly tasks. What this sensor does and how it helps Detects presence or absence of objects, materials, and liquids without physical contact, reducing wear and maintenance. Adapts to a variety of target materials including plastics, liquids, glass, and thin metals by sensing dielectric changes rather than relying on material conductivity. Minimizes wiring complexity and integrates easily into existing DC control circuits that accept NPN outputs. Important attributes Function: Capacitive proximity sensing for noncontact detection. Model: KG5307. Mounting: Threadedtype body for secure installation and repeatable positioning. Supply voltage: 10 to 30 V DC. Output type: NPN switching output. Condition: . Performance and compatibility notes Wide supply range increases compatibility with common 24 V DC industrial systems as well as nominal 12 V or 30 V setups. NPN output suits sinkstocommon input circuits and PLC inputs that accept NPN devices. Threaded housing enables use with standard mounting hardware and allows fine adjustment of sensing position. Typical applications Level sensing in small tanks or containers to detect presence of liquid or foam near the wall where direct contact sensors are not practical. Presence detection of plastic parts, circuit boards, or packaged goods on conveyors for pick and place verification and process control. Label or material detection through thin packaging films during packaging and labeling operations. Installation and integration tips Mount the threaded body securely and adjust the sensing position for reliable detection through the chosen material or wall thickness. Verify that the control input is compatible with NPN output wiring and that the system provides a 10 to 30 V DC supply. Test detection with the actual target material and mounting arrangement, as sensing distance varies with target dielectric properties and mounting conditions. This KG5307 capacitive threaded sensor provides a compact, electrically simple solution for noncontact detection tasks in automated and process applications.
