Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23F04M1PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23F04M1PO is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23 series, this extended-range sensor combines an extra-short body with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing, making it particularly suitable for installations where available sensor mounting space is limited.
The ICB12S23F04M1PO provides a rated operating distance of 4 mm and is designed for flush mounting in metal. Its PNP normally open (NO), 3-wire DC output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation systems for position monitoring, component detection and machine sequencing.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. The M12 connector version measures just 40 mm in overall length, while yellow LED output indication, integrated electrical protection and an IP67 protection rating support dependable industrial operation.

Reliable Metal Detection in Space-Constrained Machinery
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic sensing field. When a suitable metal target enters the sensing zone, the solid-state output changes state, providing repeatable position and presence detection without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12S23F04M1PO is particularly suited to machinery where installation depth is restricted. Its extra-short M12 body combines a 4 mm extended sensing distance with flush mounting, fast switching and an M12 plug connection, providing a compact and maintainable sensing solution for modern automated equipment.
Typical Applications
- Compact industrial machinery with restricted sensor mounting space.
- Machine position and end-position sensing.
- Metal component presence detection.
- Conveyor object detection and counting.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automated assembly equipment.
- Material handling and transfer systems.
- PLC-controlled factory automation systems.
