Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04PC Inductive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi ICS08S30N04PC is a compact 3-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 a robust stainless-steel threaded housing with an extended 4 mm rated operating distance.
The ICS08S30N04PC features a PNP normally closed (NC) output and operates from a 10–36 V DC supply. Its non-flush mounting configuration enables the extended sensing range, while the integral 2 m cable provides a straightforward connection to PLC inputs, machine controllers and industrial automation equipment.
With a maximum output current of 200 mA at 50 °C, a maximum switching frequency of 2 kHz and an operating temperature range from -25 to +80 °C, the ICS08S30N04PC provides dependable switching performance for demanding machine applications. Its IP67 protection and integrated short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection further enhance operational reliability.
