Parameter Comparison
| Parameter | Original Model | J&V Alternative | Check Before Order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Original Model | IFM IG series M18/M30 inductive sensor | J&V threaded inductive proximity sensor | Send full model code and label photo |
| Output | PNP, NPN, relay, two-wire or analog depending on original part | Matched output selected before quotation | same function, matched housing and wiring |
| Supply Voltage | Typically 10-30 VDC or machine-specific range | Voltage range matched to machine input | Measure panel voltage if the old label is unclear |
| Mechanical Fit | Housing, thread, bracket or slot profile from original series | Closest J&V housing and mounting accessory | Confirm length, face type and cable exit |
| Application | M18/M30 inductive sensor | general replacement | Confirm target material, distance and environment |
Advantages
- Factory quotation and fast model checking
- Alternative selection across sensors, power supplies and pneumatic parts
- Support for sample orders before batch replacement
- WhatsApp model confirmation with photos
Application Notes
- Confirm whether the old sensor is shielded or non-shielded.
- Check if the cable is direct lead, M8 connector or M12 connector.
- For optical sensors, confirm diffuse, reflector or through-beam mode.
- For cylinder switches, confirm slot profile and magnet position.

FAQ
What is an IFM IG series replacement?
It is a J&V Automation alternative selected after comparing the original IFM IG series model code, wiring, voltage, range and mounting. It should not be chosen by brand name alone.
Can I replace IFM IG series with a lower cost sensor?
Usually yes when the output, sensing distance, housing and environmental rating match. Critical safety or precision applications need a sample test first.
What information should I send for cross reference?
Send the complete model number, label photo, installed photo, quantity, destination country and any PLC input requirements such as PNP or NPN.
