Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SN08PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SN08PO is a compact and reliable M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB inductive sensor series, it combines an extended sensing range, short threaded body and robust nickel-plated brass construction for dependable industrial operation.
This sensor provides a PNP normally open (NO), 3-wire output with a rated operating distance of 8 mm. Its non-flush mounting configuration enables the extended sensing range, making it suitable for applications requiring reliable detection of metallic components at a greater distance than standard-range M12 sensors.
With a rated operating voltage of 10–36 V DC, maximum output current of 200 mA and switching frequency up to 2 kHz, the ICB12SN08PO provides responsive sensing for automated machinery. Its short M12 × 50 mm housing, pre-wired 2 m cable, operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C and IP67 protection support reliable installation in demanding industrial environments.
