Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IFS250) is a cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector, featuring an unshielded design with 3 wires and a 4-pin M12 connector. It operates with a DC supply voltage rating of 10-30V DC and is normally closed (NC). This sensor is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IFS250 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IFS250 is used for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation, such as position sensing on machinery, conveyor systems, and packaging equipment. Its unshielded design allows for longer sensing ranges, and the normally closed (NC) output suits fail-safe monitoring applications.

What are the specifications of the IFM IFS250 proximity sensor?

The IFM IFS250 is an unshielded, normally closed (NC) inductive cylindrical sensor with a built-in 4-pin M12 connector and 3 wires. It operates on a DC supply voltage of 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply. The manufacturer part number is IFS250.

Where to buy the IFM IFS250 proximity sensor worldwide?

3G Electric supplies the IFM IFS250 inductive proximity sensor to customers worldwide. As a global industrial solutions provider, we handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us for pricing and lead time on this sensor.

How to install the IFM IFS250 proximity sensor?

Mount the IFM IFS250 sensor securely in a metal-free zone to avoid interference, as it is unshielded. Connect the 3 wires to the 4-pin M12 connector per the wiring diagram: typically brown for 10-30V DC, blue for ground, and black for the NC output. Ensure the DC supply voltage is within rating.

Used in

Common applications for IFM
