12 mm Inductive Sensor for Industrial Automation

The IFM IF0008 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for 12 mm mounting holes. It detects metal targets at distances up to 4 mm using a 2-wire AC circuit. The unit operates on 20 to 250V AC at 25 Hz and supports a maximum load of 250mA. It suits machine builders and maintenance teams needing reliable non-contact presence sensing.

2 m Cable and NC Output Simplify Wiring

A 2 metre cable is permanently attached, removing the need for separate cordsets or connectors. The normally closed output logic means the circuit opens when a target enters the sensing field. This behaviour suits safety-related circuits or applications where a wire break should signal a fault. The 2-wire design reduces termination points inside the electrical box.

Brass Housing With IP67 Rating Resists Harsh

The brass body features a white bronze coating that resists corrosion from coolants, oils and cleaning agents. An IP67 rating confirms protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. The sensor withstands operating temperatures from -13 to 158 degrees F. The unshielded 91 mm length requires clear space around the sensing face for reliable operation.

Questions about this item

How often does the 2 m cable need replacement in normal service?

The 2 m cable is permanently moulded into the brass housing; replacement means swapping the entire sensor.

What limits continuous operation first — the 25 Hz switching rate or the 250 mA load ceiling?

The 250 mA load ceiling is reached before the 25 Hz switching rate becomes a constraint.

How hot does the brass case get when the sensor runs all day at 250 V AC?

The brass case operates within the -13 °F to 158 °F ambient range; self-heating stays inside that envelope.
