ICS08S30N04NAM5 – PROX SENSOR IND. 4-WIRE M8PLUG SHORT NPN NON-FLUSH

Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04NAM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04NAM5 is a compact 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 an AISI 304 stainless steel threaded housing with short-body construction for installations where space is restricted.

This sensor provides a 4 mm rated operating distance and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its NPN 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 ICS08S30N04NAM5 is suitable for fast position, presence and metal object detection. Its M8 plug connector, stainless steel construction and IP67 protection rating support dependable operation across an industrial temperature range of -25 to +80°C.

Compact Extended-Range Complementary Switching for Industrial Automation

Inductive proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04NAM5 detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. This sensing principle provides accurate and repeatable position and presence detection while eliminating the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches, helping improve reliability in repetitive industrial processes.

The ICS08S30N04NAM5 combines a 4 mm extended sensing distance with a compact short-body M8 housing and complementary NPN outputs. The normally open and normally closed outputs allow two switching states to be available simultaneously, while the non-flush configuration, detachable M8 connection and fast 2 kHz operating frequency make the sensor suitable for machine building and automated production systems.
