Inductive proximity sensor 1 mm range
The IFM Efector IE5207 is an inductive cylindrical proximity sensor with a maximum detecting distance of 1 mm. It operates on a 10 to 36 V DC supply and provides a 2-wire PNP/NPN normally open output. The brass housing is white bronze coated and rated IP67 for dust and water ingress protection. A 2 m cable provides the electrical connection.
Suited for short-range metal detection
This sensor suits automation tasks that require reliable detection of metal targets at very close range. The shielded design allows flush mounting in metal surroundings. Builders who need a longer sensing distance or a different output configuration such as NPN only or PNP only should look at alternative models. The fixed 2 m cable length may not suit installations requiring connectorised wiring.
Handles 200 mA load at 2 kHz switching
The output comfortably handles a maximum current load of 200 mA at an operating frequency of 2,000 Hz. It functions across a temperature range of -13 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The 1 mm sensing range limits use to applications where the target approaches very close to the sensor face. The 35 mm overall length fits compact mounting spaces.

Questions about this item
What power supply voltage range does the IFM IE5207 require to operate?
The sensor operates on a 10 to 36 V DC supply, so your system must provide voltage within that window.
Will the 2-wire PNP/NPN output work with a legacy PLC input card that only accepts NPN sinking signals?
Yes, the output is selectable as PNP or NPN; wire it for NPN sinking to match the older PLC card.
How can I verify the sensor is detecting at its rated 1 mm distance after installation?
Bring a standard steel target to 1 mm from the face; the output should switch and the indicator LED will change state.
