Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04PAM5 Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04PAM5 is a compact 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 short-body sensor combines an AISI 304 stainless-steel threaded housing with a 4 mm rated sensing distance.
The ICS08S30N04PAM5 provides PNP normally open + normally closed (NO+NC) outputs, allowing both switching functions to be available from a single sensor. Its non-flush mounting configuration provides the extended sensing range, while the integral M8 connector offers a compact detachable electrical connection for convenient installation, servicing and sensor replacement.
Operating from a 10–36 V DC supply, the ICS08S30N04PAM5 supports an output current up to 200 mA at 50 °C and a switching frequency of up to 2 kHz. Its IP67 protection, wide -25 to +80 °C operating temperature range and built-in electrical protection make it suitable for demanding industrial sensing applications.
