Baumer IFRM-12P1701 PL Inductive Proximity Switch

Baumer IFRM-12P1701 PL is a compact 12 mm diameter cylindrical inductive proximity switch designed for flush mounting in automation equipment, delivering non-contact detection of metal parts and featuring a PBT sensing face set in a brass nickel-plated housing. It provides a PNP normally-open output over an M12 connector, with a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm and hysteresis of 3–20% of Sr, accompanied by a 3-port LED indicator that signals the switch state. The unit is rated IP67 for dust and water ingress and is designed for industrial environments across a wide operating temperature range (-25 to +75 C), making it suitable for use on conveyors, machinery, and robotic systems. For power, IFRM-12P1701 PL variants use a DC supply with currents up to 200 mA; typical voltage ranges span from about 6 to 36 VDC, with built-in short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection.
