Eaton 55 Series Right Angle Photoelectric Sensor
The Eaton 55 Series Right Angle Photoelectric Sensor is a non-polarized retroreflective photoelectric sensor built for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Featuring a 30 Ft. sensing distance (based on a 3-inch retroreflector, sold separately), this sensor delivers NPN and PNP open collector outputs at 50 mA max DC and a 50 mA at 30 Vdc contact rating, operating on a 10-30 Vdc input. Housed with a nylon lens and connected via a 4 Pin Mini Connector, it is CSA Certified and rated for NEMA 1, NEMA 3, NEMA 4, NEMA 6, NEMA 12, and NEMA 13 environments.
