Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40A2PO Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08L45N40A2PO is a 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 an extended 4 mm rated operating distance for dependable position and presence detection.
The ICS08L45N40A2PO features a 3-wire PNP normally open (NO) output and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its non-flush mounting configuration provides the extended sensing range, making it particularly useful where additional clearance between the sensor face and metallic target is required while retaining the compact M8 format.
Supplied with a 2 m cable, the ICS08L45N40A2PO supports an output current up to 100 mA and a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz. Its stainless-steel construction, IP67 protection and wide -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range provide reliable sensing performance across demanding industrial environments.
