IFM Efector IFS204 Inductive Proximity Sensor - M12, 4mm Flush Mount, PNP NO, 10-30V DC
The IFM Efector IFS204 is a compact, M12-threaded inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation, offering a 4mm flush-mount sensing range for reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects. It features a PNP Normally Open (NO) output compatible with 10-30V DC PLCs and control systems, housed in a durable metal body with an IP67 rating for harsh environments.
Features
- Compact M12 threaded metal housing (45mm length) for space-constrained installations.
- 4mm flush-mount sensing range for precise detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
- PNP Normally Open (NO) output compatible with standard industrial PLC inputs (10-30V DC).
- High 700Hz switching frequency for fast-response applications like counting or sorting.
- IP67-rated housing provides robust protection against dust, water jets, and industrial contaminants.

The IFM Efector IFS204 operates on the principle of electromagnetic induction, generating an oscillating field from its sensing face. When a metallic object enters this field, eddy currents are induced, causing a detectable change in the oscillator’s amplitude. This change triggers the solid-state PNP output switch, providing a reliable digital signal for machine control.
Engineered for industrial durability, the sensor’s metal housing and gold-plated contacts ensure long-term electrical reliability and resistance to vibration. Integrated protection circuits guard against reverse polarity, overload, and short-circuit conditions, enhancing system safety and operational lifespan in demanding factory automation, packaging, and material handling environments.
