Product Description

The IFM Capacitive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (MPN KI5208) is a 30 mm diameter cylindrical sensor with a non-terminated cable, 3 wires, and NPN output. It operates on a DC supply voltage of 10-36V DC and is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM KI5208 capacitive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM KI5208 capacitive proximity sensor detects metallic and non-metallic objects such as liquids, plastics, and powders. It is commonly used in level monitoring, presence detection, and material handling applications in industrial automation. Its 30 mm cylindrical housing and NPN output suit PLC and controller integration.

What are the specifications of the IFM KI5208 sensor?

The IFM KI5208 is a 30 mm diameter capacitive cylindrical proximity sensor with a non-terminated cable, 3 wires, and NPN output. It operates on a DC supply voltage of 10-36V DC and is not rated for AC supply voltage. The manufacturer part number is KI5208.

Where to buy the IFM KI5208 sensor worldwide?

You can source the IFM KI5208 sensor worldwide through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to your location. Contact us for availability and lead time; we supply genuine IFM components to industrial buyers globally.

How to install the IFM KI5208 capacitive proximity sensor?

Mount the IFM KI5208 sensor securely using the 30 mm threaded housing. Connect the 3 wires: brown to 10-36V DC positive, blue to negative, and black as the NPN output. Ensure the sensing face is free of obstructions. Avoid overtightening and verify the DC supply voltage rating before powering.
