Capacitive 30 mm proximity sensor

The IFM KI5084 is a capacitive cylindrical proximity sensor built for industrial automation. Its 30 mm diameter stainless steel housing fits standard mounting points on conveyors and machine frames. The four pin M12 connector simplifies wiring in control cabinets. It operates on 10 to 36V DC supplies common in factory environments.

8 mm sensing range with IP65 and IP67

The sensor detects targets up to 8 mm away, suitable for presence checks on packaging lines or level sensing in hoppers. Shielded construction allows flush mounting in metal without interference. Dual IP65 and IP67 ratings protect against water jets and temporary immersion. The 316L stainless steel case resists corrosion in wash down areas.

3 wire PNP/NPN selectable output

A single device provides either PNP or NPN switching with NO/NC programmable logic. Maximum load current is 100 mA at 10 Hz switching frequency. Operating temperature spans -13 to 176 degrees F for cold storage or hot process zones. The 90 mm overall length fits tight brackets. Buyers needing analog output or longer range should choose a different sensor.

Questions about this item

Will the 30 mm stainless-steel sensor fit alongside my existing 12 mm proximity switches on the same mounting rail?

The sensor body is 30 mm in diameter and 90 mm long, so it needs a larger cut-out than 12 mm units; check your rail spacing before installation.

How can I confirm the 3-wire PNP/NPN output is switching correctly after wiring the 4-pin M12 connector?

Apply 10 to 36 V DC, place a target within the 8 mm sensing range, and measure the output voltage change between the load wire and ground; the LED indicator also shows switching state.

Does the IP65/IP67-rated sensor ship with a mating M12 cable or must I order one separately?

Only the sensor with its 4-pin M12 connector is supplied; a compatible M12 cable assembly must be purchased separately.
