Allen-Bradley 872C-A15N30-R3 Inductive Proximity Sensor: Complete Technical Guide
On this page
This April 7, 2026 note records twenty new branded 872C-A15N30-R3 proximity sensors with a one-year warranty. The first view shows individually bagged threaded metal sensors, black sensing ends, connector ends and mounting hardware. The second shows an Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation bag label with the exact reference and several electrical markings.
Identification and delivery details
The package prints 20–250 V AC, LOAD 500 mA, OUTPUT N.O., SEN. DIST. 15 mm, UN SHIELDED and IP67. It also prints PNP alongside those AC markings. That combination is preserved as a label inconsistency; this review does not resolve it into a verified output circuit or approved wiring arrangement.
Made in the Dominican Republic is printed on the package. These are photographed packaging claims, not independently tested ratings or origin authentication. The wiring sketch and connector diagram are visible, but no operating test is supplied. The 0.5 kg record weight has no stated net or packing basis.

The first group view did not make the complete label readable, so the second was reviewed. All five photographs are preserved. The package's AC and PNP markings are reported together without inventing a circuit interpretation.
Matching this part
Check the complete sensor-body marking against the package reference and request the exact wiring sheet. Resolve the AC/PNP label combination with the supplied item's manufacturer data before choosing an input circuit or connection.
Confirm the required sensing target, mounting clearance and connector details for the intended installation. Request a current switching test at the intended supply and load; printed distance and IP67 markings are not measured test results.
