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.

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.

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.
