Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

The ICS08S30N40A2IO qualifies as a substitute based on the following critical parameters that define functional compatibility for inductive proximity sensor applications:

• Sensor Type: Both sensors are inductive proximity sensors
• Supply Voltage Range: Both operate within 10V ~ 30V, ensuring direct electrical compatibility
• Ingress Protection: Both maintain IP67 rating for sealed operation
• Package / Case: Both utilize Cylinder, Threaded - M8 housing for mechanical interchangeability
• Termination Style: Both employ Cable Leads for connection
• Manufacturer: Both are manufactured by Carlo Gavazzi Inc., ensuring design consistency

The substitute part represents an advancement in the product line with enhanced specifications including increased sensing distance (4mm vs. 2mm), higher response frequency (2kHz vs. 500Hz), stainless steel construction, and extended operating temperature range (-25°C ~ 80°C vs. -25°C ~ 70°C). The ICS08S30N40A2IO maintains active product status with RoHS3 compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the ICS08S30N40A2IO directly replace the IA08FSN02PO in existing installations?

A: The ICS08S30N40A2IO provides mechanical and electrical compatibility through identical M8 threaded housing, cable lead termination, and 10V ~ 30V supply voltage range. However, the increased sensing distance (4mm vs. 2mm) requires verification that detection distances in the application accommodate this specification change.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two sensors?

A: The primary difference is sensing distance: the IA08FSN02PO operates at 2mm while the ICS08S30N40A2IO operates at 4mm. The substitute also features higher response frequency (2kHz vs. 500Hz), stainless steel construction, and extended temperature range (-25°C ~ 80°C vs. -25°C ~ 70°C).

Q: Does the output type difference affect compatibility?

A: The IA08FSN02PO specifies PNP-NO 3-Wire output, while the ICS08S30N40A2IO offers configurable output. The configurable output can be set to match the original PNP-NO configuration, maintaining signal compatibility with existing control circuits.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these sensors?

A: The IA08FSN02PO is supplied in standard packaging, while the ICS08S30N40A2IO is supplied in Box packaging. Both sensors utilize identical M8 threaded cylindrical housings and cable lead termination, ensuring mechanical interchangeability.

Q: What compliance certifications apply to the substitute part?

A: The ICS08S30N40A2IO carries RoHS3 compliance certification and maintains REACH Unaffected status, meeting current environmental and material restriction requirements for industrial sensor applications.
