Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IC2 Magnetic Slot Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi IC2 is an industrial magnetic slot proximity sensor designed for reliable position and presence detection using magnetic actuation. Part of Carlo Gavazzi's I-series slot sensor family, it combines a compact slot-style sensing arrangement with a durable plastic housing for machine-building and industrial automation applications.

The IC2 features a normally closed (NC) contact output, also described as an SPST-NC magnetic switch. Its contact is rated for switching voltages up to 250 V AC, switching current up to 3 A and switching power up to 100 VA, providing a straightforward electromechanical interface for suitable control circuits.

An integral PVC cable provides the electrical connection, while the plastic enclosure offers IP67 ingress protection. With an operating temperature range of -25 °C to +75 °C, the IC2 provides a practical magnetic sensing solution for industrial equipment requiring dependable normally closed position detection.
