IFM Electronic IFK3003BBPKG K1 V4A -104 (IFC259) Inductive Proximity Sensor

The IFM Electronic IFK3003BBPKG K1 V4A -104 (IFC259) is an inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metallic targets without contact in automated industrial environments, enabling reliable part presence checks and synchronization tasks on production lines. It operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and offers a 3 mm sensing distance, which supports compact mounting and close-range sensing of small metal components. In automation settings such as conveyors, machine tooling, and assembly equipment, this sensor provides non-contact metal detection to help monitor position, confirm part presence, and trigger downstream actuators with minimal mechanical wear. The device’s identification includes the IFC259 code and the K1 V4A -104 configuration, signaling its place within IFM’s line of inductive sensors and making it suitable for integration where a compact, metal-detection sensor is required.
