SICK IME12-04BNSZW2K Inductive Proximity Sensor

SICK IME12-04BNSZW2K is a compact M12-threaded inductive proximity sensor that detects metallic targets without contact, rated for a 4 mm sensing distance. It features a NPN normally-open (SPST-NO) output and operates on a DC supply from 10 to 30 V, drawing up to 200 mA. The unit uses a 2 m PVC-sheathed cable for plug-and-play installation and comes in a rugged brass housing designed for industrial environments. This sensor belongs to SICK's IME family, offering reliable metal sensing for applications such as inline conveyors, automated tooling, end-of-travel and position sensing on machine benches, and other automation tasks where compact, durable metal-detection switches are beneficial. The IME12-04BNSZW2K designation encodes M12 connection, 4 mm sensing range, NPN NO output, and 2 m cable length, enabling straightforward integration into standard 10–30 VDC control circuits and PLC inputs.
