icb12lf04pc – prox sensor ind. m12 cab long pnp nc flush r.1
Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LF04PC is a long-body M12 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with an extended 4 mm sensing distance, 3-wire PNP normally closed output, 10–36 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LF04PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LF04PC is a robust M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, it combines an extended sensing range with a long-body cylindrical housing, making it well suited to industrial position, presence and object detection applications.
This sensor provides a 3-wire PNP normally closed (NC) output and a rated operating distance of 4 mm. Its flush-mountable design allows installation within surrounding metal while providing an extended sensing distance compared with standard-range M12 sensors, and the integrated 2 m cable enables straightforward connection to PLCs, machine controllers and industrial control systems.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC and switching frequency of up to 1.5 kHz, the ICB12LF04PC supports fast and repetitive detection tasks. Its long-body nickel-plated brass construction, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Inductive Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12LF04PC detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing range, the sensor changes its output state, enabling reliable position, presence and movement detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICB12 series is designed for industrial automation applications requiring compact dimensions, reliable switching and robust construction. The ICB12LF04PC combines an extended 4 mm sensing distance, flush installation and a long M12 body with an integrated cable, making it well suited to PLC-controlled machinery, automated production equipment and material handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine position and presence detection.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Metal component detection and counting.
- PLC-controlled industrial automation systems.
