ICS08L45N04PA – PROX SENSOR IND. 4-WIRE M8 CAB LONG PNP NON-FLUSH

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04PA Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04PA is a robust 4-wire M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 extended-range series, it combines a compact AISI 304 stainless steel threaded housing with long-body construction and extended sensing capability for demanding industrial applications.

This sensor provides a 4 mm rated operating distance and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its PNP normally open and normally closed (NO+NC) complementary outputs provide two switching functions from a single sensor, offering flexible integration with compatible PLCs, machine controllers and industrial control systems.

With a 10–36 V DC rated operating voltage, maximum output current of 200 mA at 50°C and operating frequency of 2 kHz, the ICS08L45N04PA is suitable for fast position, presence and metal object detection. Its 2 m integral cable, stainless steel construction and IP67 protection rating support dependable operation across an industrial temperature range of -25 to +80°C.
