The Autonics PS12-4DN belongs to the PS series – Rectangular Inductive Proximity Sensors.
Proximity sensors are fast-moving maintenance spares: a sensor that is hit by a part, crushed by a fixture or soaked in coolant has to be replaced the same day to restart the machine, and the replacement must match the original in size, sensing distance, output and connection.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the full model code PS12-4DN: in the Autonics code the letters and digits after the series select the size, sensing distance or resolution, the output type and the supply, so a different suffix may not fit your wiring.
If the label of the old unit is worn or the model is discontinued, send us a photo and we will confirm the current Autonics equivalent before quoting.
What to check first
- Output type (PNP or NPN) and NO/NC function
- Sensing distance
- Flush (shielded) or non-flush mounting
