Overview
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC3 inductive proximity sensor is a compact, non-contact detection device engineered for industrial automation and motion control applications. This 3-wire, NPN normally open sensor delivers reliable performance in environments requiring fast, accurate metal object sensing. The M12 cylindrical housing ensures easy installation in confined spaces and provides excellent protection against dust and moisture.
Key Features
- Inductive sensing technology for non-contact metal object detection
- M12 connector housing for compact, space-efficient installation
- 4mm sensing distance (response range) for efficient industrial use
- 10–30 VDC supply voltage, compatible with standard industrial power systems
- Normally open (NO) output with 3-wire NPN configuration
- Robust construction resistant to dust, moisture, and mechanical stress
