FAQ

What is the difference between the IGA3005-BPKG and its successor, the IGB3005-BPKG?

The successor model, IGB3005-BPKG, generally offers improved electronic characteristics, such as enhanced EMC protection and potentially a wider temperature range, while maintaining the same fundamental form factor and sensing capabilities.

Is this sensor suitable for use in food and beverage applications?

Yes, the ‘/V4A/US’ suffix indicates the housing is made of V4A (316L) stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and cleaning agents, making it well-suited for many applications in the food and beverage industry.

What does the ‘f’ after the 5 mm sensing distance signify?

The ‘f’ stands for ‘flush’ (or ‘buendig’ in German), indicating that the sensor can be mounted flush in metal without affecting its sensing performance. This is a crucial detail for installation planning.
