Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04NC is a compact and robust 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 stainless-steel threaded housing with a 4 mm rated operating distance, providing extended sensing performance where installation space is limited.
The ICS08L45N04NC features a 3-wire NPN normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–36 V DC supply. Its non-flush mounting configuration enables the extended sensing range, making it suitable for applications where additional clearance between the sensor and metallic target is beneficial.
Supplied with a 2 m cable, the ICS08L45N04NC supports output current up to 200 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its IP67 protection, stainless-steel construction and -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range provide dependable performance in demanding industrial environments.
