Sensors with plugs do not have to be big - M5 miniature plug

Baumer Electric: What good is a miniature sensor when its plug connection takes up all the extra space?

To make the best use of the advantages of miniaturization, Baumer offers a complete range of very compact inductive sensors with M5 x 0,5 mm plugs and matching plug connections. This unique range includes both digital and analog sensors in round or rectangular housings.

The small IWRM 04 distance-measuring inductive sensors are the most compact inductive analog sensors on the market with a diameter of 4 mm and a housing length of only 30 mm. With a short response time of 0,5 ms and the high resolution of 1 μm, they are without equal in this size class. The measuring range is 0 to 1 mm. The switching version of these sensors is even available with a modest length of 24 mm. They are equipped with bright LED status windows that are easy to see.

With a mounting depth of 4,7 mm, the IFFM 08 inductive proximity switch can easily be flush mounted in metal slots or cutouts. This sensor is very easy to mount using only one M3 countersunk screw.

The mating vibration-resistant, screw-mounted plug connection achieves protection class IP 67 and is available in axial or angled versions.

Special features:

• Very compact inductive sensors
• New M5 miniature plug
• Simple mounting concept
