Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi IA12ESN04UCM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi IA12ESN04UCM1 is a compact M12 stainless-steel inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and intrinsically safe interface applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi IA12 series, it combines a short cylindrical threaded body with a NAMUR output for use with compatible NAMUR switching amplifiers and control interfaces.
The IA12ESN04UCM1 features a NAMUR normally-closed (NC) output with a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm. Its non-flush sensing arrangement provides increased detection range from the compact M12 housing, while the stainless-steel construction offers robust mechanical protection for industrial installations.
Designed for a 7–9 V DC rated supply, the IA12ESN04UCM1 provides a maximum output current of 9.35 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 1.2 kHz. An M12 plug connection, yellow LED indication, IP67 ingress protection and -25 to +70 °C operating temperature range make it a versatile industrial sensing solution.
