Product Description

The IFM IN5225 is a compact, dual-channel inductive proximity sensor designed specifically for valve actuator applications. With a sensing range of 4 mm, it provides precise position feedback for quarter-turn actuators. The sensor features two normally open PNP outputs, each capable of handling up to 250 mA, and operates within a wide voltage range of 10 to 36 V DC. Housed in a robust rectangular PBT enclosure with an IP67 rating, the IN5225 is suitable for use in harsh industrial environments. Its gold-plated M12 connector ensures reliable electrical connections, and the sensor includes two yellow LEDs for visual indication of switching status.
