Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 Inductive Proximity Switch

The Carlo Gavazzi IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 is a compact inductive proximity switch (M12 cylindrical housing, 12 mm diameter) that detects metal targets without contact. It features a 4 mm sensing distance and a normally open (NO) output in a 2‑wire DC configuration. The unit operates on 10–40 V DC and supports a maximum load current of 0.2 A, making it suitable for simple signaling and control in automation circuits. It includes protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and transient voltages, and carries an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance in typical industrial environments. This sensor is commonly used for end-of-line detection on conveyors, position sensing on automation lines, and guarding applications where a compact, robust metal-detection solution is needed. As part of Carlo Gavazzi’s IA12 family, the IA12DSF04NO-IAC5 delivers reliable, contactless sensing in harsh factory settings and integrates with standard DC control systems.
