Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N04PO is a compact and reliable M8 inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation and control systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi ICS inductive sensor range, it combines a robust stainless-steel threaded housing with fast switching performance and a practical cabled connection.
This three-wire DC sensor features a PNP normally open (NO) output and a rated sensing distance of 4 mm. Its non-flush mounting design provides an extended sensing range compared with flush-mounted M8 variants, making it well suited to machinery where reliable metal detection is required within a compact installation footprint.
With a 10–36 V DC supply, maximum output current of 200 mA, switching frequency up to 2 kHz and an IP67 protection rating, the ICS08L45N04PO is designed for dependable operation in demanding industrial environments. A factory-fitted 2 m cable supports straightforward connection to PLC inputs, relays and control equipment.

Reliable Detection for Industrial Automation
Inductive proximity sensors detect metallic targets without physical contact by generating an electromagnetic field at the sensing face. When a suitable metal object enters this field, the sensor changes its output state, enabling precise position, presence and counting feedback without the mechanical wear associated with contact-based switches.
The ICS08L45N04PO is particularly suitable for compact machinery and automation systems where fast, repeatable metal detection is required. Its PNP normally open output can be integrated directly with compatible PLC digital inputs and industrial controllers, while the stainless-steel M8 body supports reliable operation in harsh manufacturing environments.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Machine position and end-of-travel detection.
- Metal component presence sensing.
- Packaging and assembly machinery.
- Automated production and manufacturing equipment.
- PLC-controlled counting and positioning systems.
