The IB12C345 is a standard inductive sensing component manufactured by IPF ELECTRONIC. It has a PNP/NO output configuration, a 4mm sensing range, a 10 to 30 VDC operating voltage, an M12 connector, and is rated IP67 for water and dust resistance. The sensing range is designed to switch, detect, and measure in applications that require contactless measurement of a wide range of metals, such as ferrous and non-ferrous. It can be used for applications such as position, speed, and overtravel sensing, end-stop detection and counting purposes, in robotics and automated machinery.
