Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN IIS246) is a shielded cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector, featuring 3 wires and a 4-pin M12 connector with PNP output. It operates on a DC supply voltage rating of 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IIS246 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IIS246 inductive proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact. It is used in automation, packaging, and material handling to sense position, count parts, or confirm presence. Its shielded design allows flush mounting in metal, making it suitable for tight machine spaces.

What are the specifications of the IFM IIS246 proximity sensor?

The IFM IIS246 is a shielded, PNP cylindrical sensor with a built-in 4-pin M12 connector and 3 wires. It operates on 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply. The brand is IFM, and the manufacturer part number is IIS246.

Where to buy the IFM IIS246 proximity sensor worldwide?
