Eaton 18mm Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, Back Ground Suppression, NPN/PNP

Eaton 18mm Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, Back Ground Suppression, NPN/PNP

The Eaton 18mm Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, part of the Perfect Prox Photoelectric Sensor line, is a back ground suppression sensor built for reliable object detection in demanding industrial environments. Housed in a compact Polyurethane foam (RIM) enclosure measuring .47 in wide, 2.6 in long/deep, and .71 in high, this sensor operates on a 10-30 Vdc input with NPN and PNP open collector output configuration. Rated NEMA 1, NEMA 3, NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 12, NEMA 13, and IP69K, it is engineered for washdown and harsh-duty applications where dependable sensing performance is critical.
