Sensor for detecting e.g. hook, fixed on surface-mount component strip, has tab with free end provided opposite to detection surface, so that strip is provided between free end and surface and metal element passes close to detection element

摘要

The sensor (1) has a case (3) for housing an inductive type detection element, where the case is made of non-magnetic material. The element includes a circulation surface (11) against which a moving strip is moved, and a detection surface (5) under which the element is located. The case includes an elastic tab (6) that is extended in the moving direction of the strip. A free end (7) of the tab is provided near or opposite to the detection surface, so that the strip is provided between the free end and the detection surface, and a metal element passes close to the detection element.
