IFM IG0344 IGK2008BABOA/SL/LS100-AK RT Inductive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm IG0344 (IGK2008BABOA/SL/LS100-AK RT) is an inductive proximity sensor in an M18 x 1 threaded housing 72 mm long, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 8 mm, which ifm classes as an increased sensing range. The operating distance on steel is 0…6.5 mm. It is a normally open sensor for 20…250 V AC/DC, with an AC load current of 250 (350 (…50 °C)) mA and a switching frequency of 25 Hz on AC, or 100 mA and 60 Hz on DC. ifm specifies a fast-acting miniature fuse of 2 A or less in the supply. On other metals the distance is reduced by ifm's correction factors: 0.7 for stainless steel, 0.45 for brass, 0.4 for aluminum and 0.33 for copper. The sensor has a PBT housing, connects through a 1/2-inch connector (C-coded, 3 contacts) and is rated IP67 for -25…70 °C ambient. It has UL approval under file E174191. Two lock nuts are included.
