Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40A2PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40A2PC is a compact and robust M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08 extended-range series, this long-body sensor combines a stainless-steel threaded housing with a 4 mm rated operating distance for dependable position and presence detection.
The ICS08L45N40A2PC features a 3-wire PNP normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its non-flush mounting configuration provides the extended sensing distance, making it suitable for machinery where additional detection range is required while retaining the compact dimensions of an M8 cylindrical sensor.
Supplied with a 2 m cable, the ICS08L45N40A2PC supports an output current of up to 100 mA and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz. Its stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection and -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range provide reliable performance across demanding industrial automation environments.
