The IFM E10242 is a PTFE protective cover designed for compatible M12 sensor connections. It uses an M12 × 1 internal thread for secure attachment to the sensor interface. The PTFE construction provides a lightweight protective component with good chemical resistance. The cover has an external diameter of approximately 16 mm and weighs about 4.25 g. It is supplied as one piece for protecting compatible M12 sensor connection areas.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The E10242 uses PTFE as its main construction material. PTFE provides useful resistance against many industrial chemicals and process substances. The internal M12 × 1 thread allows direct installation on compatible sensor interfaces. The threaded connection keeps the cover securely positioned during machine operation. The compact design adds minimal space around the sensor. It is suitable for sensor protection in industrial environments.
The protective cover has an M12 × 1 internal thread. Its external diameter is approximately 16 mm. The component weighs approximately 4.25 g. The threaded construction provides a simple screw-on installation method. PTFE gives the component a lightweight and chemically resistant structure. One piece is supplied per package.
The cover helps protect compatible M12 sensor interfaces from contamination and physical exposure. Its PTFE construction is suitable for installations where chemical resistance is important. The threaded design allows quick installation and removal. The small dimensions make it suitable for compact machine assemblies. The cover can be replaced without modifying the sensor. It provides a practical accessory for maintaining sensor interface protection.
