IFM Electronic KI0041-FBOA Capacitive Proximity Switch

The IFM KI0041-FBOA Capacitive Proximity Switch is a non-contact capacitive sensor designed to detect metallic and non-metallic materials, including plastics, glass, wood, paper, powders, and liquids, even through non-metallic containers. It provides a 15 mm adjustable sensing range and operates on 20–250 VAC/DC with a 250 mA switching current, with a programmable NO/NC output (AC/DC). Its M30×1.5 threaded barrel, PBT housing, and IP65 protection deliver rugged reliability in industrial environments, and it tolerates temperatures from -25°C to 70°C. Typical applications include level sensing, presence monitoring, and object detection in packaging machines, conveyors, hoppers, and tanks within process automation.
