Baumer IFRM 12P1703/S14L Proximity Sensor

The IFRM 12P1703/S14L from Baumer is an industrial-grade proximity switch that combines compact design with advanced sensing capabilities. Featuring a 4 mm nominal sensing distance and a flush mounting type, this model ensures accurate and non-contact detection of metallic objects, minimizing wear and increasing operational efficiency. Built with a cylindrical threaded housing (12 mm diameter, 40.4 mm length), the sensor installs easily in space-constrained environments. It uses a PNP make function (normally open) output, making it compatible with most PLC input modules in automation panels.

Operating within a voltage range of 6–36 VDC and delivering up to 200 mA output current, the sensor supports fast switching with a 2 kHz frequency, making it suitable for high-speed conveyors, robotics, and part detection lines. Its integrated 3-port red LED indicator provides real-time output status, streamlining setup and maintenance. Safety and durability are enhanced by built-in short-circuit protection and reverse polarity protection, reducing downtime caused by wiring faults.

Constructed with a rugged nickel-plated brass housing and a PBT sensing face, the Baumer IFRM 12P1703/S14L is built to perform in harsh conditions. It comes equipped with a reliable M12 connector for secure, plug-and-play installation. Rated IP67, the sensor offers excellent protection against dust, oil, and water, and operates within a temperature range of -25°C to +75°C. Whether you’re building advanced automation systems or upgrading legacy equipment, this sensor ensures precision, speed, and long-term reliability.
