Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04PO is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, this short-body sensor combines a nickel-plated brass cylindrical housing with dependable solid-state switching for repetitive position and presence detection.
The IA12DSF04PO features a 3-wire PNP normally-open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its shielded, flush-mountable sensing configuration provides an extended nominal sensing distance of 4 mm, delivering useful detection range while allowing compact integration into metal machine structures.
With a compact 30 mm body length and integral 2 m PVC cable, the IA12DSF04PO is designed for straightforward installation and direct wiring into compatible industrial control systems. Its 1.5 kHz switching frequency, IP67 ingress protection and -25 to +70 °C operating temperature range make it well suited to demanding factory automation applications.
