Product Description

The IFM Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor (SKU 3G-OTH-35436, MPN IGS243) is a cylindrical sensor with a built-in connector, featuring an unshielded design with 3 wires and a 4-pin M12 connector. It operates with a DC supply voltage rating of 10-30V DC and is normally closed (NC). This sensor is not rated for AC supply voltage.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the IFM IGS243 inductive proximity sensor used for?

The IFM IGS243 inductive proximity sensor detects metallic objects without contact. It is commonly used in industrial automation for position sensing, part detection, and machine monitoring. Its unshielded design and normally closed output suit applications requiring reliable metal detection in tight spaces.

What are the specifications of the IFM IGS243 sensor?

The IFM IGS243 is an unshielded, normally closed (NC) inductive proximity sensor with 3 wires and a 4-pin M12 connector. It operates on a DC supply voltage of 10-30V DC and is not rated for AC supply. The manufacturer part number is IGS243.

Where to buy the IFM IGS243 sensor worldwide?

You can source the IFM IGS243 sensor through 3G Electric, a global industrial equipment distributor. We handle full logistics, customs clearance, and delivery to worldwide destinations. Contact us for availability and lead time.

How to install the IFM IGS243 inductive proximity sensor?

Mount the sensor securely in a non-ferrous bracket to avoid interference. Connect the 3 wires to the 4-pin M12 connector per the wiring diagram: typically brown for 10-30V DC, blue for ground, and black for the NC output. Ensure the sensing face is unobstructed and the supply voltage is within 10-30V DC.
