IFS204 Inductive Proximity Sensor: Advanced Metal Detection for PLC Automation Systems
On this page
Ten IFS204 inductive sensors are recorded in this delivery of 5 December 2025. The photographs show ten orange ifm-labelled bags, with the full type IFB3004BBPKG/US-104, 4 mm sensing range, 10–30 VDC and 100 mA printed on the close-up. The sales note describes the goods as new Chinese replacements; the packaging separately prints Made in Germany. Both statements are retained here.
Identification and delivery details
The ten bags are arranged in two rows of five in both group photographs. The close-up distinguishes this variant from IFS201: its drawing has three connections, with terminal 1 at L+, terminal 3 at L− and terminal 4 feeding the load. The drawing places the load between the output and L−. The bag also carries IP67, SELV, SCP, CE, EAC and cULus marks.
These are packaging-level photographs. The printed ifm identity and country statement describe what is on the bags; they do not override the seller's explicit replacement-goods classification or independently establish origin. The record's 0.5 kg weight is retained as a recorded lot figure, without treating it as a measured net weight for each sensor.

Evidence: the three delivery photographs below. The ifm IFS204 product page identifies the original product family; an original-product datasheet does not certify these recorded replacement goods.
Matching this part
Match the complete type and the existing three-wire circuit before considering this lot. The photographed diagram differs from the two-wire IFS201 drawing, even though both records use orange packaging. Confirm the offered sensor's actual markings, connector and output behaviour with current photos and the supplier's specification.
The 4 mm label is the nominal range. This record contains packaging photographs and an inspection clip, rather than a calibrated switching-distance test. Ask for the installation requirements and acceptance test appropriate to your machine.
Photos and recorded media
Recorded inspection clip. The clip is retained as delivery evidence; no performance measurement is inferred from it.
