Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC3 Proximity Switch

The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC3 proximity switch is a compact inductive sensor with a 12 mm M12-style housing that detects ferrous metal targets at up to 4 mm. It operates from a DC supply of 10–40 V and draws about 0.2 A when active, with a normally open DC output that switches when a metal target enters the sensing field. The IA12DSF04NO-IAC3 follows the IA12 family’s 2‑wire DC configuration and offers connection options that include a 2 m cable or an M12 plug, making it easy to integrate into standard automation circuits. Typical industrial uses include part presence detection on conveyors, end-of-travel sensing in fixtures, and general metal-detection tasks in machine control and packaging lines.
