Pepperl+Fuchs 084008, also known as NBB2-12GM60-A2-V1, is an inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable metal detection in industrial automation applications. It features a 2 mm rated sensing distance with flush installation, making it suitable for compact mounting positions where precise object detection is required.
This sensor uses a PNP complementary DC output and operates from a 10 to 30 V DC supply. Its M12 x 1, 4-pin connector allows straightforward integration into control systems, while the yellow LED switching indicator provides clear local status visibility. With a switching frequency of up to 1000 Hz and an operating current range of 0 to 200 mA, the unit is well suited to fast and repetitive sensing tasks.
The 084008 is built with a nickel-plated brass housing and PBT sensing face, offering robust performance in demanding machine environments. Its IP67 protection rating helps protect against dust and water ingress, and it is rated for ambient temperatures from -25 °C to 70 °C. The sensor also includes reverse polarity protection and pulsed short-circuit protection, supporting dependable operation in industrial installations.

| Description | The Pepperl+Fuchs 084008 is a compact inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation applications. Its flush-mount M12 threaded design, PNP complementary output and rugged nickel-plated brass housing make it suitable for use in machinery, conveyor systems, position sensing and general equipment monitoring. |
What type of sensor is this?
This is an inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metallic targets without physical contact. It is suitable for position sensing, presence detection and machine automation applications where a compact threaded sensor body is required.
What is the sensing distance?
The rated operating distance is 2 mm. The assured operating distance is 0 to 1.62 mm, depending on the target material, mounting conditions and application setup.
Can it be mounted flush?
Yes. This sensor is designed for flush installation, allowing the sensing face to sit level with a metal mounting surface when installed correctly.
What output configuration does it use?
It uses a PNP output with a complementary switching function. This means it provides both normally open and normally closed style output behaviour through the connector pin arrangement.
What operating voltage is required?
The sensor operates from a 10 to 30 V DC supply, making it compatible with many common industrial control systems.
What is the maximum operating current?
The operating current range is 0 to 200 mA. The voltage drop is rated at no more than 2 V during operation.
What connection does the sensor use?
It uses an M12 x 1, 4-pin connector. Compatible female cordsets include straight and angled M12 4-pin PUR cable options.
What do the wire colours represent?
The wire colours follow EN 60947-5-2 conventions: brown for pin 1, white for pin 2, blue for pin 3 and black for pin 4.
What environmental protection rating does it have?
The sensor has an IP67 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion conditions when properly connected.
What temperature range can it operate in?
The specified ambient operating temperature range is -25 °C to +70 °C, equivalent to -13 °F to +158 °F.
What materials are used in its construction?
The housing is made from nickel-plated brass, while the sensing face is made from PBT. This provides a robust construction for industrial environments.
Does it include a switching indicator?
Yes. The sensor includes a yellow LED switching state indicator, which helps show the output status during operation.
What switching frequency does it offer?
The switching frequency is rated up to 1000 Hz, allowing it to detect fast-moving metallic targets in suitable applications.
How does target material affect sensing distance?
Different metals reduce the effective sensing distance. The reduction factor is 0.25 for aluminium, 0.15 for copper and 0.66 for 304 stainless steel, compared with the rated sensing distance.
What mounting accessories are compatible?
Compatible mounting accessories include a 12 mm mounting flange and a quick mounting bracket with dead stop. These can help position the sensor securely in an application.
- Non-contact detection of metal targets in automated machinery
- Position sensing on conveyors, transfer lines and indexing systems
- Presence detection for metal components in assembly and handling equipment
- End-of-travel sensing for pneumatic cylinders, slides and moving machine parts
- Part counting applications where metallic items pass a fixed sensing point
- Detection of machine guards, stops or fixtures fitted with metallic actuators
- Feedback sensing in packaging, filling and processing equipment
- Object detection in compact machine layouts using a flush-mounted M12 sensor
- Monitoring the position of jigs, clamps and tooling in production cells
- Replacement use in industrial control panels and machine installations requiring a PNP inductive proximity sensor
