<h2>Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>ifm IIA2015-FRKG/US</strong> is an industrial-grade inductive proximity sensor built for metal detection in harsh manufacturing environments. Manufactured by ifm Efector, a trusted German automation supplier, this M30-threaded sensor provides non-contact, reliable switching of ferrous and non-ferrous metals within its 15mm detection range. Its 10-55V DC input, PNP/NPN configurable output, and programmable NO/NC logic make it ideal for integration into PLCs, machine controls, and safety circuits.</p>
<h2>Key Features</h2>
