Overview
The Turck BI5-M18-AP6X-H1141 is a standard M18 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with 5 mm nominal sensing range, PNP normally-open output and an M12 × 1 connector (H1141). The chrome-plated brass housing is IP67 and the electronics include short-circuit, reverse-polarity and wire-break protection with an LED indicator. Turck's inductive range is one of the broadest available — factor 1 sensors for all metals, uprox+ with extended ranges, high-temperature and washdown versions — and the BI5-M18 remains the general-purpose choice for position detection on machines and conveyors. Compatible M12 cordsets (RK 4.4T, WK 4.4T) are supplied with the sensor.
Key features
- M18 flush, 5 mm nominal range (4 mm secured), 500 Hz switching frequency
- PNP NO output, 200 mA, 10–30 V DC; NPN (AN6X) and NC (AP6X2) versions
- M12 × 1 connector (H1141); 2 m cable version (7M)
- Chrome-plated brass housing, PBT active face, IP67
- Short-circuit, reverse-polarity and wire-break protected; LED
Typical applications
- Position detection on machines and conveyors
- End-of-travel detection on cylinders and slides
- Counting metal parts
- Replacement of sensors from other manufacturers (M18 standard)

Frequently asked questions
What does H1141 mean in the part number?
It is the connector code: an M12 × 1 male connector with 4 pins. 7M indicates a 2 m cable version instead.
When should I use the uprox+ version?
If targets are aluminium, stainless or brass. Standard inductive sensors reduce their range on non-ferrous metals; uprox+ factor 1 sensors have the same range on all metals and are weld-field immune.
Is the BI5-M18-AP6X-H1141 available from stock, and what is the lead time?
Typically 1–2 weeks from Turck regional stock; standard cordsets supplied together. We confirm with the quotation.
