Cylindrical nickel-plated brass sensor M30 thread 71 mm long M12 connector

Sick

SICK IME30-20NPOZC0S Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP NC M12 20mm IP67

SKU CH-MKF7-Q4XQS

M30 inductive proximity sensor detects metal at 20 mm with PNP NC output, IP67 housing and M12 connector

  • 20 mm sensing range detects metal targets at distance
  • PNP normally-closed output simplifies fail-safe wiring
  • IP67 enclosure rating withstands water and dust ingress
  • 10–30 V DC supply fits standard industrial power rails
  • M12 4-pin connector enables quick installation

M30 Inductive Proximity Sensor for Industrial

The SICK IME30-20NPOZC0S is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an M30 x 1.5 thread and a 20 mm sensing range. It provides a PNP normally closed output on a 4-pin M12 male connector for direct integration into DC control circuits. The nickel-plated brass housing and PA 66 sensing face meet IP67 enclosure rating for use in harsh environments. Operating temperature spans –25 °C to +75 °C.

Upgrade from Smaller Thread or Shorter Range Sensors

This model replaces sensors with smaller thread sizes or sensing distances below 20 mm when the application demands greater detection distance on a standard M30 mounting. The jump is worthwhile when a non-flush installation is required and the 500 Hz switching frequency matches the machine cycle speed. A safe sensing range of 16.2 mm ensures reliable operation within the specified zone.

Suits Machine Builders Needing Rugged Non-Flush

The sensor suits automation engineers who need a metal-housed, IP67-rated device with a 10–30 V DC supply and 200 mA continuous current capability. It is not for applications requiring a flush mount format, an NPN output type, or a normally open switching function. Buyers needing a different thread size or connector style should look at other models.

Questions about this item

What thread size and housing length must the mounting bracket accommodate for this M30 sensor?

The sensor has an M30 x 1.5 thread with a 41 mm thread length and an overall housing length of 71 mm, so the bracket needs clearance for at least 71 mm depth.

Which wiring step is critical when connecting the 4-pin M12 connector to a 10–30 V DC supply?

Wire the DC 3-wire PNP NC output correctly: brown to 10–30 V DC, blue to 0 V, and black as the switched load; the sensor draws 10 mA and needs 125 ms before the output is stable.

What ongoing checks does the IP67-rated nickel-plated brass housing require in a –25 °C to +75 °C environment?

Periodically verify the M12 connector seal and PA 66 sensing face for damage or contaminant build-up; the housing tolerates 30 g shock and 10–55 Hz vibration, but physical damage compromises the IP67 rating.
