About Turck BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141
BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141 is a Turck inductive sensor, published by Turck under ident. no. 46070 as an inductive sensor with increased switching distance. Distributor catalogs list it in the same inductive proximity sensor category.
Turck sensor codes are descriptive from end to end: barrel size, sensing behaviour, output type, and connection style are all encoded in the segments. A sensor with the same leading characters but a different trailing block is a genuinely different device, so search the whole string and match it against the label on the sensor you are replacing.
Supplier listings for this sensor vary in condition, packaging quantity, and lead time, and pricing and availability can change at any time. Treat the results of a PartVista search as a starting point and confirm the current figures with the supplier before you raise a purchase order.

Common formatting variations
Suppliers, ERP systems, and handwritten work orders do not always write the number the same way. These are the forms worth trying — or ruling out — when a search returns nothing:
- BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141 (as printed by Turck)
- BI4M12AP6XH1141 — hyphens dropped in ERP or spreadsheet exports
- BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141/S1589 — a separate Turck variant with a Weldguard coating, not this part
- Turck ident. no. 46070, sometimes used by suppliers instead of the catalog number

Frequently asked questions
Where can I search for BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141?
Enter BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141 in PartVista's search field and it collects the supplier listings it can match for that exact code, with listed price and stated availability shown together.
What is BI4-M12-AP6X-H1141?
Turck publishes it as an inductive sensor with increased switching distance: an M12 × 1 chrome-plated brass threaded barrel, 4 mm rated switching distance, flush mountable, 10…30 VDC 3-wire, NO PNP output, with an M12 × 1 male connector. Confirm these details against your application on the supplier listing before ordering.
Can I substitute a similar Turck sensor code?
Not safely without checking. The trailing segments carry the output and connection detail your circuit depends on, so confirm the exact code or have the substitution reviewed by controls personnel. PartVista does not publish substitutions.

Is the price I see on PartVista the price I will pay?
