Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F02PA Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45F02PA is a compact and robust 4-wire 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 durable AISI 304 stainless-steel threaded housing with a 2 mm rated sensing distance for accurate position and presence detection.
The ICS08L45F02PA features a PNP normally open + normally closed (NO+NC) output, providing both switching functions from a single sensor for flexible machine-control integration. It operates from a 10–36 V DC supply and features a flush-mountable design that allows the sensing face to be integrated into surrounding metal.
Supplied with a 2 m cable, the ICS08L45F02PA offers a maximum output current of 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz. Its stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection and wide operating temperature range make it a dependable sensing solution for demanding industrial automation environments.
