Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF02POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF02POM1 is a compact M12 inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and machine-building applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICB series, it combines a short cylindrical threaded body with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing for dependable operation in industrial machinery.
The ICB12SF02POM1 provides a rated operating distance of 2 mm and is designed for flush mounting. Its PNP normally open (NO), 3-wire DC output enables straightforward integration with compatible PLC inputs, machine controllers and automation systems for position monitoring, component detection and machine sequencing.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the sensor supports an output current of up to 200 mA and an operating frequency of 1.5 kHz. The short connector version measures M12 × 51 mm with an M12 × 1 × 29 mm threaded section, while its M12 plug, yellow LED indication and IP67 protection support convenient installation and reliable industrial operation.

Reliable Metal Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without requiring physical contact. An electromagnetic sensing field responds when a suitable conductive target enters the sensing zone, allowing the solid-state output to change state and provide repeatable position or presence information without the mechanical wear associated with conventional contact switches.
The Carlo Gavazzi ICB12SF02POM1 combines a compact M12 short body with a precise 2 mm sensing distance, flush installation and PNP normally open switching. Its detachable M12 connector and rugged metal construction make it a practical sensing solution for automated machinery requiring compact installation, straightforward maintenance and dependable repetitive detection.
Typical Applications
