IFT200 Inductive Sensor 7mm PNP NO M12 Stainless Steel IP69K | IFM

The Original New IFM IFT200 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable metal object detection in the food and beverage industry and other demanding hygiene-critical environments. Housed in a robust stainless steel (1.4404 / 316L) body with a PEEK sensing face, it is resistant to high-pressure cleaning with aggressive cleaning agents and withstands frequent temperature fluctuations. Featuring a 7 mm non-flush mounting sensing range, gold-plated M12 connector contacts, and IP68 / IP69K protection, the IFT200 ensures reliable, long-term operation where standard sensors fail.

Core Engineering Highlights:
7 mm non-flush mountable sensing range | PNP normally open output | 10‑30 V DC operating voltage | 800 Hz switching frequency | 0°C to +100°C ambient temperature range | IP68 / IP69K protection rating | Stainless steel (316L) housing | PEEK sensing face | Gold‑plated M12 connector contacts | 1134 years MTTF
