ifm IFS204 combines a nominal 4 mm sensing range with a PNP normally open output in an M12 housing. Its flush-mountable construction can suit position-sensing layouts close to a metal mounting surface. The 45 mm body length is a useful mechanical comparison point where installation space is short.
Application selection
Check PLC PNP-input acceptance, target material and the manufacturer's assured operating distance together.

Sensing distance depends on target material and mounting. Check assured operating distance and correction factors in the manufacturer record.
Does the 4 mm value apply identically to every metal target?
No. Material correction factors and target geometry must be included in the sensing assessment.
