The one that will best fit my needs is part number IE5295.
It is activated by being in close proximity to 304 alloy stainless steel, regular steel or a magnet.
It is a normally open switch single pole single acting switch.
The water proof wire connector part number is E18017. It is long 4 prong screw on connector, fits all your small 4 prong proxs and switches.

The sensor element is made in Germany and is not cheap made in china garbage.
Search ebay to see some now, there are 2 sensors and a bunch of cables on there now.

This prox is wired as follows.
The brown wire goes to +DC power source.
The Blue wire goes to -DC power.
These 2 wires power the sensor.
The black wire gives you the I/O signal up to 300ma when the prox is made.

And yes it does work perfectly on 12 volt DC power. Min voltage rating is between 10 and 11 volts.
