ABSTRACT:
An electronic proximity switch orientatable in various response directions includes a sensor housing, a rotatable angle member and a connecting piece, with the rotatable angle member being selectively attachable to the sensor housing in two different positions. A base member is provided which is adapted to be mounted to the rotatable angle member at an installation site, with the base member being selectively lockable in at least four rotary positions. The entire electronic circuitry is accommodated in the sensor housing and the base member is constructed as an assembly block, with a plug being rotatably disposed within the connecting piece. The assembly block carries a locking fastener which is receivable in passages provided in the connecting piece so that the rotary position of the rotatable angle member can be rotatably locked in a stepwise fashion and a rotary position of a plug can be rotatably locked in an infinitely variable manner.
