DESCRIPTION

IA18FLN08PO is an M18 metal face inductive proximity sensor designed for non-flush mounting applications with an 8 mm rated operating distance. The sensor features a long housing style with cable connection and PNP output configuration, providing normally open or normally closed switching options. It operates at 10–30 VDC with a maximum output current of 100 mA and includes yellow LED indication for output status. The stainless steel AISI 304 housing resists corrosion and mechanical damage from flying metal chips and vibrating targets, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The sensor includes protection against reverse polarity, short circuits, and transients, with an operating frequency of 500 Hz and a hysteresis of 1–20% of the sensing distance.
