The Original New IFM IFS205 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor designed for non‑contact detection of metal objects in harsh industrial environments. Housed in a robust nickel‑plated brass M12 x 1 threaded barrel with a PBT sensing face, it delivers a 7 mm non‑flush sensing range and a very high 700 Hz switching frequency for demanding position‑sensing and part‑presence applications. Equipped with gold‑plated M12 connector contacts, 4 yellow LEDs at 90° for clear switching status indication, and a permanently legible laser type label, the IFS205 ensures reliable operation and long service life with an MTTF of 1,134 years.
