IFM IFR206 IFB2004BARKG/AM/SC/0,3M/US/2LE Inductive Full-metal Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IFR206 (IFB2004BARKG/AM/SC/0,3M/US/2LE) is an inductive full-metal proximity sensor in an M12 x 1 threaded housing 35 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 4 mm, which ifm classes as an increased sensing range. The operating distance on steel is 0…3.24 mm. The PNP/NPN switching output is normally open, rated at 100 mA and up to 75 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, 0.7 for brass, 0.6 for aluminum and 0.3 for copper. The sensor has a weld-coated stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L) housing with a weld-coated stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L) sensing face, connects through an M12 connector (A-coded, 2 gold-plated contacts, rotatable locking) and is rated IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K for -40…85 °C ambient. ifm lists it for welding applications and it has UL approval under file E174191. Two lock nuts are included.
