Understand the difference.

Compare the meaning, drawing context and source references of two entries. A similar graphic or shared abbreviation does not establish equivalence.

PROX CAP

IEEE / ANSI

ANSI/IEEE Capacitive proximity switch form

This reference locates capacitive proximity switch in Autodesk's IEEE-oriented capacitive switches family. A capacitive proximity switch detects a target through a change in its sensing capacitance. Its supply and switching output are shown separately from the target or process material. The public library uses HPX1C for its horizontal representation; this is a vendor block name, not an IEEE standards symbol number.

Capacitive. Autodesk IEEE Symbol Preview: Capacitive Switches, block HPX1C. Matching functional counterpart linked separately. Independently drawn educational geometry; not a certified IEEE glyph or database identifier.

A distinction that matters

Capacitive sensing is different from inductive metal-target sensing.
