  • IP68 and IP69K sealing withstands wash-down and immersion
  • 316L stainless steel body resists corrosion in harsh environments

IFT244 12 mm inductive sensor

The IFT244 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation and control systems. Its shielded design and 316L stainless steel housing suit harsh production environments where reliable non-contact detection is required.

3 mm sensing range and 10 to 36 V DC supply

The sensor detects metal targets up to 3 mm away and operates from a 10 to 36 V DC supply. A 100 Hz switching frequency and 100 mA maximum load current set the practical limits for high-speed counting or fast-moving part presence applications.

4-pin M12 connector with IP68 and IP69K sealing

A 4-pin M12 connector provides the electrical interface while the IP68 and IP69K ratings allow direct wash-down and high-pressure cleaning. The 60 mm overall length fits standard mounting brackets, and the NPN normally-open output simplifies integration with PLC input modules.

Questions about this item

Will this 12 mm sensor fit alongside my existing M12 wiring harness?

Yes, it uses a 4 pin M12 connector that matches standard M12 cables. The 12 mm barrel diameter and 60 mm length are typical for this mounting style.

How can I verify the NPN output is switching correctly after installation?

Apply 10 to 36V DC power, bring a metal target within 3 mm of the sensing face, and measure the output wire — it should pull low when the NO contact closes.

Does the box include a mounting nut or mating cable, or must I order them separately?

The sensor ships as the cylindrical unit only. Mounting hardware and a 4 pin M12 cable are not included and must be purchased separately.
