Quasi-flush:
There is no conductive material
directly around the sensing tip, but
at a small distance behind (1/3x
Sd)
Flush (in conductive material):
The sensor is fully embedded in
conductive material.
Flush mounting in non-conductive
material, e.g. plastic, does not
influence the sensing behavior.
The following diagram shows the influence of the mounting situation in different materials and different
distances to the sensing tip.
Diagram: Sensor output (typical values) influenced by different mounting situation (material and position)
The curves above show that the IR12.D06L sensors only experience very little effect of the way they are
mounted if the sensing distance is smaller than 50% of the maximal sensing distance or if the sensors are
mounted quasi-flush or non-flush. Non magnetic materials such as brass or copper show a similar behavior as
aluminum.
