The Turck BI15U-CP40-VP4X2 is a high-performance inductive sensor designed for precise and reliable detection of metal objects. This sensor features a rectangular CP40 housing made from durable plastic (PBT-GF30-V0) with a yellow active face (PA6-GF30-X), ensuring robust performance in various industrial environments. With a rated switching distance of 15 mm and the ability to detect all metals at the same large switching distance, it offers significant advantages over conventional sensors.
The BI15U-CP40-VP4X2 operates within a wide voltage range of 10 to 65 VDC and supports a 4-wire, complementary contact, PNP output configuration. It is equipped with high luminance corner LEDs for optimal visibility of the supply voltage and switching state from any mounting position. The sensor is designed to be flush-mounted and is resistant to magnetic fields, making it suitable for applications where magnetic interference is a concern.
This inductive sensor boasts an extended temperature range of -30 to +85 °C, a high switching frequency of 0.25 kHz, and a protection class of IP68, ensuring reliable operation in harsh conditions. The BI15U-CP40-VP4X2 also features short-circuit protection, reverse polarity protection, and a low residual current, enhancing its safety and reliability in demanding applications.
Ideal for use in automation and control systems, the Turck BI15U-CP40-VP4X2 provides a versatile and dependable solution for non-contact detection of metal objects, ensuring efficient and accurate performance in a wide range of industrial settings.

Found the component I was looking for at a great price. Excellent support from the staff as I was paying by wire transfer. Fast delivery and very good packaging.Adriano Tiberi
Extremely helpful. They shipped me a replacement unit the next day, and I was up and running within 24 hours. A brand-new replacement from the machinery manufacturer would have had a 7-day lead time.Sean Conlin
Found the part we needed at the best price. I spoke with Rob to make sure it was actually in stock, as many companies don’t really have it available to ship. It was ready, checked, and shipped, and we received it within a few days from their German stock. Would definitely use again and recommend.Chris Sentance
First time working with Marvo. They had what I needed, took great care of me, and got my order out right away. I was very impressed with the service and the person I spoke with. I will definitely work with them again in the future.Robert Cohen
