ics08l45f20m5pc – ind prox sens. m8 plug long flush pnp nc
Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC is a long-body M8 flush-mount inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm rated operating distance, PNP normally closed output, 10–36 V DC supply and M8 plug connection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F20M5PC is a long-body M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its compact stainless steel threaded housing combines a 2 mm rated sensing distance with a three-wire PNP normally closed (NC) output for integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs.
Designed for flush mounting, the ICS08L45F20M5PC can be installed within suitable metal structures while maintaining its specified sensing performance. The long-body construction provides an extended threaded mounting area, while the compact M8 diameter makes the sensor particularly suitable for machinery where installation space is restricted.
The sensor operates from a 10–36 V DC supply, supports output currents up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and provides a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connector, stainless steel housing, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C provide a robust sensing solution for demanding industrial applications.
