Cylindrical M12 nickel-plated brass sensor with 2 m PUR cable, 44 mm long

Sick

Sick IME12-04NPSZU2K NPN inductive proximity sensor PNP

SKU CH-RSCN-YC7ZA

M12 inductive proximity sensor detects metal at 4 mm with PNP NO output, IP67 rating, 2 m PUR cable, and 2,000 Hz switching frequency

  • 4 mm sensing range detects metal targets reliably
  • 2,000 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed automation
  • IP67 enclosure rating resists dust and water ingress
  • 10 V to 30 V DC supply voltage fits standard industrial power
  • Nickel-plated brass housing withstands shock and vibration

M12 Inductive Sensor for Industrial Detection

The Sick IME12-04NPSZU2K is a cylindrical proximity sensor built for non-flush mounting on metal surfaces. It detects ferrous targets at a 4 mm sensing range with a 2,000 Hz switching frequency. The PNP normally-open output operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC supplies. This device suits automation engineers and maintenance technicians who need reliable presence sensing in compact machine spaces.

Short Nickel-Plated Brass Housing with IP67 Cable

A 44 mm stainless-steel barrel carries an M12 x 1 thread only 24 mm long, allowing installation in shallow tap holes. The 2 m PUR-jacketed cable resists oils and abrasion while meeting IP67 ingress protection. Three 0.25 mm² conductors carry DC 3-wire signals with short-circuit, reverse-polarity and power-up pulse protection built in. The plastic PA 66 sensing face withstands 30 g shock and 10 Hz to 55 Hz vibration at 1 mm amplitude.

Replaces Larger Flush Sensors in Tight Fixtures

The non-flush design lets the sensing face protrude for full 4 mm range without a metal-free zone around the barrel. Upgrading from longer flush bodies saves 20 mm or more of axial space while keeping the same 12 mm diameter. The jump is worthwhile when panel depth is limited but a standard M12 thread is already cut. Buyers who need flush mounting or a sensing distance beyond 4 mm should select a different model.

Questions about this item

What switching frequency does the M12 inductive sensor support, and what does that limit in practice?

The sensor switches at 2,000 Hz, which caps the detectable speed of passing metal targets in high-speed counting or positioning tasks.

What are the thread size and maximum tightening torque for mounting this M12 sensor?

It uses an M12 x 1 thread with a 24 mm thread length and a maximum tightening torque of 12 Nm to avoid housing damage.

How is the 3-wire DC cable connected, and which wiring mistake is common?

Connect brown to 10–30 V DC, blue to 0 V, and black to the PNP NO load; a frequent error is swapping the black output wire with the blue return.
