ia05bsf10pcm5p – ind prox m5 pnp nc plug flush
Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PCM5P is a flush-mountable M5 stainless steel inductive proximity sensor with a 1 mm sensing distance, 3-wire PNP normally closed output, 10–30 V DC supply, M8 connector and IP67 protection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PCM5P Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PCM5P is a compact M5 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA05 family, its short cylindrical stainless steel housing is particularly useful where sensor mounting space is restricted.
This sensor features a 3-wire DC PNP normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply, providing straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial controllers. Its fully shielded construction permits flush mounting in metal, while a nominal 1 mm sensing distance provides precise detection of nearby metallic components.
The IA05BSF10PCM5P combines an AISI 303 stainless steel housing with an M8 connector for convenient installation and replacement. With IP67 protection, a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, it is well suited to compact industrial machinery, automated assembly equipment and position-monitoring applications.

Reliable Non-Contact Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring the change produced when conductive material enters that field. This contactless operating principle provides rapid and repeatable detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact-based position switches.
The compact M5 format of the Carlo Gavazzi IA05BSF10PCM5P makes it particularly useful for automated equipment where installation space is limited. Its fully shielded flush-mountable construction, PNP normally closed output and detachable M8 connection provide a practical solution for component detection, machine position monitoring and automated sequencing.
Typical Applications
- Metal component presence and position detection.
- Industrial automation and assembly machinery.
- PLC-controlled manufacturing equipment.
- Packaging and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Automated production and handling equipment.
- Compact mechanisms with restricted sensor mounting space.
