icb12sf04pom1 – prox sensor ind.m12 plug short pnp no flush r.1
Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF04POM1 is a short-body M12 nickel-plated brass inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm flush sensing distance, PNP normally open output, 10–36 V DC supply and M12 connector for industrial automation applications.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF04POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF04POM1 is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 extended-range series, it combines a short-body format with a durable nickel-plated brass threaded housing, making it particularly suitable for installations where available mounting space is limited.
This sensor provides a rated operating distance of 4 mm and features a flush-mountable sensing configuration, delivering extended sensing performance while allowing installation within surrounding metal structures. Its PNP normally open (NO) 3-wire output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs and industrial control equipment, while non-contact inductive operation reduces mechanical wear and supports repeatable position and presence detection.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, output current up to 200 mA and switching frequency up to 2 kHz, the ICB12SF04POM1 provides responsive detection for industrial automation applications. Its M12 connector, compact M12 × 51 mm dimensions, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it well suited to conveyors, packaging equipment, automated assembly machinery and general industrial automation.
