SICK IQ10-03BPSKT0S Rectangular Inductive Proximity Sensor PNP IQ10 30V 3 mm 30 V dc 200mA

SICK IQB Series Proximity Sensor, 3mm Maximum Detection, Plastic Body - IQ10-03BPSKT0S

This proximity sensor detects metal targets in automated systems, providing contactless switching for control and monitoring tasks. Designed for flush mounting, it is housed in a plastic rectangular body with an ingress rating suitable for demanding environments and operates across a wide temperature span for industrial use.

Features and Benefits:

• Detects metal up to 3mm for tight-tolerance sensing
  Operates from 0 to 30V for common DC control systems
  Switching capability 200 mA to Interface with small loads
  Switching frequency 2 kHz for fast response in cyclical applications
  Shielded design to reduce interference in dense installations
  Terminal connection uses an 8‑pin M3 arrangement for secure wiring

Applications

• Suitable for position sensing on assembly conveyors
  Ideal for end-of-stroke detection on pneumatic actuators
  Used for object presence checks on pick-and-place machines
  Can be used for proximity interlocks in machine safety circuits
  Used with control panels requiring Compact sensor integration

What environmental protection does it provide for washdown or dusty sites?

The casing meets an IP68 ingress classification, permitting prolonged immersion and sealing against dust ingress.

How does the electrical Interface suit typical PLC inputs?

It provides a PNP output compatible with sourcing PLC inputs and operates at supply voltages up to 30V DC.

What mounting considerations affect sensing performance?

It is designed for flush mounting and uses shielding to minimise influence from nearby metal components when embedded in fixtures.

What temperature range will preserve reliable operation?

The unit functions across a -30 to 75 °C ambient range to cover chilled, ambient and moderately elevated-temperature environments.
