IFM IL5020 IL series Inductive sensor

Product overview

The ifm IL5020 (ILA32,5-BPKG/OBEN/PH RT) is an inductive proximity sensor in a rectangular housing measuring 40 x 8 x 8 mm, for flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 2.5 mm. The real sensing range is 2.5 mm ± 10% and the operating distance on steel is 0…2.02 mm. The PNP switching output is normally open, rated at 250 mA and up to 2000 Hz on 10…36 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 LCP sensing face, connects through a 2 m PUR cable with 3 x 0.14 mm² conductors and is rated IP65 for -25…70 °C ambient. ifm lists it for use where space is restricted and it has UL approval under file E174191.
