Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute parts are selected by strict comparison of provided parameters relevant to electrical compatibility, mechanical fit, and application suitability within the inductive sensor category. These parameters are: sensor type, sensing distance, output type, shielding, material-body, termination style, operating temperature range, ingress protection rating, indicator presence, and mechanical package (cylinder, threaded - M12). Only officially listed substitutes and those with explicit parameter overlap are included.

Key parameters defining acceptable substitution:

• Sensor Type
• Sensing Distance
• Output Type
• Shielding
• Material - Body
• Termination Style
• Operating Temperature
• Ingress Protection
• Indicator
• Package / Case

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The IA12FLF02NC is designated as obsolete. Substitute selection must be based solely on matching key parameters and product compliance. The recommended substitute, ICF12L45F04B2IO, is an active part from the same manufacturer. Both products are supplied in a Cylinder, Threaded - M12 package with cable leads termination style and LED indication. Only parameters explicitly provided above are used for engineering comparison. Compliance with ingress protection and operating temperature ranges is determined from the listed specifications.
