Baumer Electric GmbH IFFM 20P17A3 S35L Switch

Baumer Electric GmbH's IFFM 20P17A3/S35L is a compact, flush-mount inductive proximity switch in a 20 x 32 mm rectangular housing with an active PBT sensing face and a nickel-plated brass body. It provides a PNP make-function (NO) output with 8 mm nominal sensing distance (Sn), suitable for detecting metallic targets at short range. The device operates from 10 to 30 V DC and draws up to 10 mA without load, with an output current rating of 200 mA and a voltage drop under 2 V, while offering short-circuit and reverse-polarity protection. Wiring is via an M8 connector, and the sensor is rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, enabling use in harsh industrial environments. The mounting configuration is flush, allowing a low-profile integration in equipment where space is limited, and the product is qualified for operation from -25°C to +75°C, making it suitable for a wide range of manufacturing floors and automation panels. The IFFM 20P17A3/S35L represents Baumer's line of compact inductive sensors designed to provide reliable position or presence sensing in compact control enclosures, automation modules, conveyors, and other automated assemblies that require a small, rugged, DC-powered switch for sensing metallic targets.
