Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02PCM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30F02PCM5 is a compact and robust M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 series, this three-wire DC sensor combines a short-body stainless-steel threaded housing with precise switching performance for installations where available mounting space is limited.
The ICS08S30F02PCM5 features a PNP normally closed (NC) output, a rated operating distance of 2 mm and a flush-mountable sensing configuration. Its shielded design allows the sensing face to be installed level with surrounding metal, supporting compact and protected machine installations while maintaining dependable detection of suitable metallic targets.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor provides a maximum output current of 200 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its M8 plug connection, stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection rating and operating temperature range of -25 to +80 °C make it well suited to demanding industrial environments.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic objects without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field around the sensing face. When a suitable metal target enters this field, the sensor changes its switching state, providing reliable position, presence and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The ICS08S30F02PCM5 is particularly suited to compact machinery where accurate detection and rapid switching are required. Its flush-mountable M8 stainless-steel body integrates neatly into equipment, while the PNP normally closed output and detachable M8 connector support straightforward integration with compatible PLCs and industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Tool selection and textile machinery.
- Automated production, counting and positioning systems.
