The invention relates to a proximity switch, particularly an inductive proximity switch, with an oscillator having an at least partly self-compensated feedback network influenceable by a target to be detected, as well as an oscillator amplifier. The invention is characterized in that the oscillator amplifier has an amplifier component and a controllable network for controlling the gain of the oscillator amplifier, that the controllable network has a passive coupling network, particularly negative feedback network, and a controllable transconductance amplifier for controlling a transfer function of the controllable network, that a temperature sensor for determining the temperature of at least the oscillator amplifier is provided and a signal derived from an output signal of the temperature sensor is used as a control signal for the transconductance amplifier, and that the oscillator amplifier on the basis of the temperature determined by the temperature sensor by means of the transconductance amplifier is controllable in such a way that temperature-caused variations of the oscillator characteristics are at least partly compensatable.
