Heidelberg M2.198.1563/03A Capacitive Proximity Switch

The Capacitive Proximity Switch, also known as a capacitive sensor, approximation switch, or non-contact switch, from Heidelberg with OEM part number M2.198.1563/03A is an electrical proximity sensor for the non-contact detection of objects. It has the dimensions 15 x 10 x 5 cm and weighs 0.14 kg. Capacitive proximity switches detect objects without physical contact by recognizing changes in capacitance within an electric field. They are typically used in automation technology, material handling, and for level control. Applications include, among others, in packaging machines for product presence detection and in assembly lines for component position control.
