Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSN08PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSN08PO is a compact M12 three-wire DC inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA series, this short-body sensor combines an extended sensing range with a PNP normally open output for dependable position and presence detection.
Using inductive sensing technology, the IA12DSN08PO detects conductive metal targets without physical contact, helping reduce mechanical wear while providing repeatable switching in automated equipment. Its nickel-plated brass housing, non-flush mounting configuration and integrated electrical protection make it suitable for demanding machine-building and industrial control environments.
With a nominal sensing distance of 8 mm, an operating frequency of up to 800 Hz and a 10–40 V DC supply range, the IA12DSN08PO provides extended-range sensing from a compact M12 body. The sensor is supplied with an integral 2 m cable and offers IP67 protection for industrial installations.

Extended-Range Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face and monitoring the change caused when conductive material enters that field. This contactless operating principle eliminates mechanical contact with the target, helping minimise wear while providing repeatable position and presence detection in automated machinery.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSN08PO combines an extended 8 mm sensing range with PNP normally open switching and a compact M12 housing. Its wide DC supply range, integral cable, electrical protection and IP67 enclosure rating make it a practical sensing solution for industrial automation, production equipment and machine-building applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
