ia2 – mag slot sensor pl n/o
Carlo Gavazzi IA2 is a plastic slot-type magnetic proximity sensor with a normally open reed contact, PVC cable connection, 250 V AC maximum switching voltage, 3 A maximum switching current and IP67 protection for industrial position and presence detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA2 Magnetic Slot Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA2 is a robust slot-type magnetic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact position and presence detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi I Series, the IA2 combines a plastic slot housing with a normally open reed contact output for straightforward magnetic sensing applications.
The IA2 operates in conjunction with an external magnetic actuator, changing the state of its mechanical reed contact when the appropriate magnetic field is applied. This contactless actuation helps eliminate mechanical interaction between the sensor and moving target while providing simple and dependable switching for machine position, access, lift and automation applications.
The IA2 features a normally open (NO) contact rated for switching voltages up to 250 V AC, currents up to 3 A and switching power up to 100 VA. Its plastic housing, PVC cable connection, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +75 °C make it suitable for a wide range of industrial sensing duties.

Reliable Magnetic Switching for Industrial Automation
Magnetic proximity sensors use an external magnetic field to operate an internal reed contact, allowing position or presence to be detected without requiring mechanical contact between the sensor and moving actuator. This operating principle provides simple electrical switching and is useful in applications where dependable contactless actuation is required.
The Carlo Gavazzi IA2 combines this magnetic sensing principle with a durable plastic slot housing and a normally open contact capable of switching up to 3 A. Its PVC cable connection and IP67 protection make it a practical solution for machine position monitoring, lift and gate systems, access equipment and general industrial automation.
