Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 Inductive Proximity Switch

Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 is a compact M12 cylindrical inductive proximity switch that detects metal targets within a 4 mm (0.157 in) sensing distance. This two‑wire DC NO sensor operates on a supply range of 10–40 V DC, draws ≤0.8 mA in no‑load, and delivers a rated load current up to 100 mA with a maximum output voltage drop of ≤3 V at full load, making it suitable for direct PLC or relay interfacing. Housed in a nickel‑plated brass body with IP67 protection, it withstands dust, water, and harsh industrial environments, and is designed for mounting on standard M12 fixtures. When a metal target enters the sensing zone, the normally‑open output switches, enabling straightforward control of automation equipment such as conveyors, doors, or robotic end‑effectors. The IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 variant carries EMC approvals (EN 50 080, EN 50 081) and operates across a wide temperature range from −25°C to 70°C, ensuring reliable performance in diverse manufacturing settings.
