IA08FSF01POM5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IA08FSF01POM5 is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Carlo Gavazzi Inc., designed for non-contact object detection in industrial applications. This sensor features a 1mm sensing distance, PNP-NO output configuration, and operates across a 10V to 30V supply voltage range. The product is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for system maintenance, repair, and component sourcing in ongoing production environments.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the IA08FSF01POM5 is determined by the following critical parameters:

• Sensor Type: Inductive proximity sensing technology
• Package / Case: Cylinder, Threaded - M8 form factor
• Voltage - Supply: 10V ~ 30V operating range
• Ingress Protection: IP67 rating for sealed operation
• Termination Style: Connector-based interface

The ICS08S30F20M5IO qualifies as a manufacturer-recommended substitute. While this alternative operates at a 2mm sensing distance (compared to 1mm on the original), it maintains compatibility across the M8 threaded cylindrical package, identical supply voltage range, IP67 protection rating, and connector termination. Both sensors are unshielded inductive proximity devices suitable for industrial detection applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The ICS08S30F20M5IO is the manufacturer-recommended substitute for the obsolete IA08FSF01POM5. Selection of this alternative is supported by:

• Product Status: The substitute is active and currently manufactured, ensuring long-term availability and supply chain continuity.
• Compliance: Both components share identical REACH and ECCN classifications (REACH Unaffected, EAR99), maintaining regulatory compliance in sourcing transitions.
• Physical Compatibility: Identical M8 threaded cylindrical package enables direct mechanical installation without enclosure or mounting modifications.
• Electrical Compatibility: Matching 10V to 30V supply voltage range and connector termination style ensure circuit-level integration without redesign.

The primary design consideration is the increased sensing distance of 2mm on the substitute versus 1mm on the original part. Applications requiring detection at distances closer than 2mm require evaluation of alternative sensor models outside this substitution group.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ICS08S30F20M5IO be used as a direct replacement for the IA08FSF01POM5?

A: The ICS08S30F20M5IO is mechanically and electrically compatible for installation in the same M8 threaded mounting location with identical connector termination. However, the increased sensing distance (2mm versus 1mm) must be evaluated against application requirements. If detection at distances closer than 2mm is required, this substitute is not suitable.

Q: What is the difference in sensing distance between these two sensors?

A: The IA08FSF01POM5 operates at 0.039" (1mm) sensing distance, while the ICS08S30F20M5IO operates at 0.079" (2mm). This difference affects the maximum gap between the sensor and the target object for reliable detection.

Q: Are there differences in response frequency between the two models?

A: Yes. The IA08FSF01POM5 has a response frequency of 500Hz, while the ICS08S30F20M5IO operates at 2kHz. The higher response frequency of the substitute allows faster detection cycles in applications requiring rapid object sensing.

Q: Does the substitute support the same output configuration?

A: The IA08FSF01POM5 provides fixed PNP-NO output in a 3-wire configuration. The ICS08S30F20M5IO features configurable output, allowing selection of output type to match circuit requirements. Proper configuration of the substitute is necessary to ensure compatibility with existing control circuits.

Q: What is the operating temperature range difference?

A: The IA08FSF01POM5 operates from -25°C to 70°C, while the ICS08S30F20M5IO extends the upper limit to 80°C. The substitute provides a wider operating temperature range suitable for higher-temperature industrial environments.

Q: Are both sensors rated for the same ingress protection level?

A: Yes. Both the IA08FSF01POM5 and ICS08S30F20M5IO are rated IP67, providing identical protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water.
