Overview
The IFM IA-3010-BPKG-IA5082 is a compact, non-flush-mount inductive sensor designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation systems. With a 10 mm sensing range (±10 %), this PNP-configured sensor outputs normally-open contacts suitable for PLC and control module integration. The IA5082 connector variant includes a 2-meter PVC cable for immediate field deployment.
Key Features
- PNP electrical design with normally-open output for direct PLC digital input wiring
- 10–36 VDC operating voltage with reverse-polarity protection and short-circuit safeguards
- IP67 enclosure rating — sealed against dust and water immersion to 1 meter
- 300 Hz switching frequency supports fast-scan applications and real-time object detection
- Cylindrical housing (Ø 20 × 77 mm) with non-flush-mount capability and included lock nuts
- Wide operating temperature range from −25 °C to +80 °C for indoor and sheltered outdoor use

Typical Applications
The IA-3010-BPKG excels in detecting ferrous and non-ferrous metallic objects on conveyor systems, automated assembly lines, part counting and sorting, and machine tool safety interlocks. Its compact form factor and wide voltage tolerance make it suitable for retrofit into existing control cabinets and mobile equipment. Common uses include position sensing, presence detection, and motion verification on packaging machinery, automotive line automation, and food-handling systems.
