IFM Electronic GmbH KI5210 Capacitive Sensor

The IFM KI5210 Capacitive Sensor is a capacitive proximity sensor from IFM Electronic GmbH with a sensing range of 3–15 mm. It operates on a DC supply of 10–36 V, enabling straightforward integration into a wide range of control circuits. Capacitive sensors detect nearby objects by monitoring changes in capacitance within their sensing field, providing non-contact proximity sensing for targets within the specified range. The KI5210 delivers these core specifications—3–15 mm sensing range and 10–36 VDC supply—from IFM in a compact, solid‑state package. This model identifies itself as part of IFM’s capacitive sensing lineup and offers a practical option for applications where direct contact sensing is not desirable, and reliable proximity detection is required.
