ICS08S30F02NC – PROX SENSOR IND. 3-WIRE M8 CAB SHORT NPN NC FLUSH

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02NC is a compact 3-wire M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machinery. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 extended-range series, this short-body sensor features a robust stainless-steel threaded housing and a 2 mm rated operating distance, making it well suited to applications where installation space is limited.

The ICS08S30F02NC provides an NPN normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–36 V DC supply. Its flush-mountable sensing configuration allows the sensor face to be installed within surrounding metal, while the integral 2 m cable provides a straightforward connection to PLCs, control equipment and industrial automation systems.

With a maximum output current of 200 mA at 50 °C, a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz and an operating temperature range from -25 to +80 °C, the ICS08S30F02NC is engineered for dependable industrial switching. IP67 protection and built-in short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection further support reliable operation in demanding machine environments.
