TURCK has redesigned their standard QF5.5 capacitive sensor specifically for the semi-conductor market.  The BC10-QF5.5-AP(N)6X2/S932 has a covered potentiometer and an all-plastic (polypropylene) housing that provides a capacitive solution to the unique applications found in the semi-conductor industry.           

Metal is not allowed inside the process area of a typical semi-conductor facility, yet the level applications located in these areas require a potentiometer to adjust to the various liquids.  The BC10-QF5.5-AP(N)6X2/S932 sensor provides a solution by installing a plastic potentiometer cover that can be removed for adjustments, and seals the metal potentiometer from the process area.  By replacing the metal mounting hole inserts with plastic, there is no longer exposed metal on the sensor, making it ideal for semi-conductor liquid level applications such as leak detection.      

The BC10-QF5.5AP(N)6X2/S932 is an extremely small sensor (only 5.5 millimeters in height) with a fully embedded sensing range of 10 millimeters.  It also has several holes and slots in the housing allowing for a variety of mounting options.  These features provide an exceptional sensor that will fit in a tight area with an extended sensing distance.
