Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 Inductive Proximity Sensor is a 12 mm diameter cylindrical proximity switch with a 4 mm sensing distance, designed to detect metal targets without physical contact on automation and manufacturing lines. It belongs to Carlo Gavazzi’s IA12 DSF family and is configured as normally open (NO) to switch DC control circuits.

Operating voltage is 10 to 40 V DC, with a maximum load current of 0.2 A, delivering a simple, dry-contact style signal suitable for interfacing with PLCs and other control devices. The NO output configuration makes it straightforward to sense the presence of metal objects by closing the circuit when a target is detected.

The sensor uses a standard M12 cylindrical form factor and carries IP67 protection, enabling reliable use in harsh industrial environments. This robust housing is designed for mounting in panels or on machine frames where exposure to dust, splashes, and temporary immersion is possible.

Note: this specific IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 variant is listed as discontinued by the manufacturer, reflecting its status in catalog and distributor listings.
