IMN35124C Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The IMN35124C is an inductive proximity sensor manufactured by Crouzet, designed for non-contact detection applications with a 4mm sensing distance. This cylindrical, threaded M12 sensor operates across a 10V to 30V supply range and provides PNP-NO output through 3-wire cable leads. The product is currently obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for system maintenance, repair, and new design implementations where equivalent functionality is required.
