Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NAM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NAM5 is a 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 an AISI 304 stainless-steel threaded housing with a generous 4 mm rated sensing distance for dependable position and presence detection.
The ICS08L45N04NAM5 features an NPN normally open + normally closed (NO+NC) output, providing both switching functions from a single sensor. Its non-flush mounting configuration delivers the extended 4 mm sensing range, while the integral M8 connector provides a compact detachable connection for straightforward installation, servicing and sensor replacement.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the ICS08L45N04NAM5 supports output current up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz. Its IP67 enclosure rating, protected electronics and wide operating temperature range make it a dependable solution for demanding industrial automation environments.
