SICK Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 PNP 30 V DC 4 mm Detection IMF12-04BPPNC0S

SICK IMF12-04BPPNC0S is a high-quality threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor designed for industrial automation applications requiring reliable metallic target detection. Featuring a sturdy stainless steel housing with an M12 x 1 thread and a compact 65 mm length, this sensor ensures precise flush mounting and integration in machinery.

Operating at 30 V DC with a maximum switching current of 200 mA, it employs a PNP output for easy sourcing logic control. The sensor detects metal objects at close range of up to 4 mm using an inductive sensing principle, making it suitable for ferrous and non-ferrous metal detection.

With ingress protection ratings of IP68 and IP69K, the IMF12-04BPPNC0S sensor is resistant to water immersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, enabling performance in demanding manufacturing environments. It functions reliably from -40°C to 100°C, covering both chilled and high-temperature industrial zones.

The M12 male connector provides secure and straightforward wiring. The sensor’s switching frequency of 2 kHz allows rapid response to fast-moving objects, critical for conveyor position sensing, stamping operation monitoring, and robotic end-of-arm tooling feedback.

This shielded sensor is optimized for side and frontal metal detection applications and is widely used in level sensing of metallic items in hoppers, and machine guarding interlocks in compact spaces. Its robust design complies with CE, cULus, EN 60947-5-2, FDA, and UL E181493 standards, ensuring reliable industrial safety and quality.

The sensor features a stainless steel threaded barrel housing for durability and flush mounting. It operates with a PNP output type and supports a maximum switching current of 200 mA. Designed with IP68 and IP69K ingress protection, it withstands harsh industrial washdowns.
