The IFM MFT202 is a full-metal magnetic sensor designed for robust position detection in industrial and hygienic applications. It provides a 60 mm sensing range when used with the M4.0 reference magnet. The sensor uses a PNP normally-open output and operates from 10–30 V DC. Its stainless-steel M12 × 1 housing provides high mechanical and environmental resistance. IP65, IP68 and IP69K protection make it suitable for food, beverage and demanding wet-area applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The MFT202 uses magnetic-field detection for non-contact position monitoring. It provides a 60 mm sensing range with the M4.0 reference magnet. The sensor offers a magnetic response sensitivity of 1.3 mT. Its hysteresis is specified between 1 and 10% of the sensing range. This provides stable switching during repeated machine movements.
The sensor features a food-grade full-metal stainless-steel housing. Its M12 × 1 threaded construction provides compact and secure mounting. The sensing face is also manufactured from stainless steel. Gold-plated M12 contacts improve connection reliability. This construction is particularly suitable for hygienic and wet industrial environments.
The MFT202 supports switching frequencies up to 5000 Hz. Its PNP output can handle a continuous current of 100 mA. Short-circuit and overload protection are integrated. The sensor operates from 10–30 V DC with current consumption below 10 mA. These features make it suitable for high-cycle position monitoring.

The MFT202 is designed for a wide ambient operating range from 0 to 100 °C. This allows installation in equipment exposed to elevated temperatures. Its stainless-steel construction maintains mechanical integrity in demanding environments. The sensor is also designed for repeated industrial operation. This makes it suitable for process and packaging machinery.
IP65, IP68 and IP69K protection allow the MFT202 to withstand demanding washdown conditions. The full-metal construction supports applications where polymer housings are less suitable. The M12 connector provides a standard industrial connection. Two stainless-steel lock nuts are supplied for mounting. This combination makes the sensor well suited to hygienic machine designs.
