Carlo Gavazzi 1A12ASN08POM1 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Carlo Gavazzi IA12ASN08POM1 is an industrial inductive proximity sensor in an M12 form factor that detects metallic targets at a nominal distance of 8 mm, making it suitable for compact position sensing on conveyors and automated equipment. It is part of Carlo Gavazzi’s IA12 ASN08 family, recognized for extended sensing ranges and nickel-plated brass housings designed for demanding industrial environments. The device provides an open-collector transistor output that can be configured for NPN or PNP wiring, enabling straightforward interfacing with standard PLC inputs and control circuits. The IA12 family is offered in multiple barrel options (M12, M18, and M30) to suit different mounting and sensing distance requirements while preserving consistent performance. Typical applications include metal-detection tasks such as part presence on assembly lines, end-of-travel sensing on automated machinery, and safety interlocks where reliable metal detection is essential.
