Industrial IME12-04BPOZC0S Photoelectric Sensor

The SICK IME12-04BPOZC0S is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor (M12 x 1, 4-pin) with a flush-mount design for metal detection in tight spaces. Its sensing range Sn is 4 mm and safe sensing distance Sa is 3.24 mm, enabling reliable detection of small metallic targets in automation equipment. The IP67-rated DC 3‑wire device features a PNP normally closed (NC) switching output, powered from 10–30 V DC with ripple ≤ 10% and a maximum voltage drop ≤ 2 V, and a switching frequency up to 2,000 Hz. It uses a male M12, 4-pin connector for wiring and includes two brass, nickel-plated mounting nuts for secure installation. The part number is 1040768, and this sensor is part of SICK’s IME family of inductive sensors, designed for robust non-contact sensing of metal parts in industrial environments.
