IFM IF5904 Inductive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IF5904 (IFK4004-CPKG/US-104) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M12 x 1 threaded housing 70 mm long, for non-flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 4 mm. The real sensing range is 4 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…3.24 mm. It has complementary PNP switching outputs, one normally open and one normally closed, rated at 200 mA and up to 1200 Hz on 10…30 V DC, with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection. On other metals the distance is reduced by ifm's correction factors: 0.7 for stainless steel, 0.5 for brass, 0.4 for aluminum and 0.3 for copper. The sensor has a white-bronze-coated brass housing with an orange PBT sensing face, connects through an M12 connector (A-coded, 4 gold-plated contacts) and is rated IP67 for -25…80 °C ambient. It has UL approval under file E174191. Two lock nuts are included.
