Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IIS238) is a shielded, 3-wire cylindrical sensor with a non-terminated cable, operating on a 10-30V DC supply voltage with PNP output. This sensor is rated for DC supply only, with no AC supply voltage rating.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IIS238 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IIS238 inductive proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact. It is commonly used in automation, packaging, and material handling to sense position, presence, or counting of metal parts in industrial machinery.

What are the specifications of the IFM IIS238 sensor?

The IFM IIS238 is a shielded, 3-wire cylindrical sensor with PNP output and a non-terminated cable. It operates on 10-30V DC supply voltage and is not rated for AC supply. The brand is IFM and the manufacturer part number is IIS238.

Where to buy the IFM IIS238 sensor worldwide?

You can source the IFM IIS238 sensor through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations, ensuring reliable supply for your operations.

How to install the IFM IIS238 proximity sensor?

To install the IFM IIS238, mount the shielded cylindrical sensor in a metal bracket, connect the 3 wires (brown to 10-30V DC, blue to ground, black to load) following PNP wiring. Ensure the sensing face is unobstructed and the cable is secured to avoid strain.

Used in

Common applications for IFM
Automotive assembly — IFM inductive proximity sensors (e.g., IFS243) for detecting metal parts on conveyor lines
