Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50N04PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12L50N04PO is a robust M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial machinery and automation systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12 series, this long-body sensor combines a durable nickel-plated brass threaded housing with dependable solid-state switching for position, presence and movement detection.
The ICB12L50N04PO provides a rated operating distance of 4 mm with a non-flush mounting configuration and PNP normally open (NO) output. Its maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz supports responsive detection of moving metallic targets in automated production, conveying and machine-control applications.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports a maximum output current of 200 mA and is supplied with an integral 2 m cable. Its long M12 body, nickel-plated brass construction, IP67 protection and operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C make it well suited to demanding industrial environments.
