All variants share the same BOS 18M-PA-RH23-S4 footprint and terminal layout; the columns above show where they differ. Selecting a different catalog number changes the electrical interface, not the mounting.
The BOS01J4 is the device-level element in a Balluff industrial component installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10 ... 30 VDC — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in control panels, machine builds, spare-part replacements, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides M18 threaded tubular housing, brass nickel-plated, glass optical surface, 2x M18x1 nuts support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Q.What supply does this device require?
It requires 10 ... 30 VDC. Size the supply source to the same rating shown in the Specifications table.
Q.How is this device mounted?
It mounts by M18 threaded tubular housing, brass nickel-plated, glass optical surface, 2x M18x1 nuts. Confirm the cutout or rail before ordering a like-for-like spare.
Q.What I/O or output configuration does it provide?
It provides PNP, NO or NC (configurable). Match this to the existing wiring before substituting.
Q.What is the operating temperature range?
The confirmed operating range is -5 ... +55 C. Panels running beyond it need derated sizing.
Q.What replaces a unit that is no longer in production?
For a like-for-like spare, record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate; a current-production equivalent is identified by matching function and ratings.
