Eaton E65 Series Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor Power Unit, Auxiliary Relay & Timer, Plastic Enclosure

Eaton E65 Series Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor Power Unit, Auxiliary Relay & Timer, Plastic Enclosure

The Eaton E65 Series Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor Power Unit is a compact sensing solution built for industrial automation, combining an integral auxiliary relay and timer with a durable cycoloy plastic enclosure. This background suppression photoelectric switch reliably detects a 90% reflectance target within its sensing range while ignoring the same target beyond the cutoff range, making it well suited for precise object and package detection. With a wide 18-264 Vac / 18-50 Vdc input voltage, a 4-pin dual key micro connector, and an environmental rating spanning NEMA 1, 3, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, 13, IP68, and IP69K, this Eaton sensor power unit is engineered for demanding, wash-down, and wet-location environments.

Key Features

• Sensor Type: Background suppression photoelectric sensing detects a 90% reflectance card within the sensing range and ignores it beyond the cutoff range for accurate, false-trigger-resistant object detection.
• Durable Construction: Cycoloy plastic body enclosure provides a lightweight yet impact-resistant housing suited for industrial control environments.
• Connection Type: 4-pin dual key micro connector allows fast, secure wiring and simplified field replacement.
• Contact Rating: Rated 200 mA DC NPN / 200 mA AC 3-Wire, with a maximum AC current of 200 mA and maximum DC current of 200 mA for reliable switching performance.
• Input Voltage: Universal 18-264 Vac, 18-50 Vdc input voltage supports flexible integration across control platforms.
• Environmental Rating: NEMA 1, NEMA 3, NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 6P, NEMA 12, NEMA 13, IP68, and IP69K ratings support use in wet, dusty, and wash-down locations.
• LED Indicator: Green power-on LED provides clear at-a-glance status confirmation.
• Operating Temperature: Rated from -13 °F to 131 °F for stable performance across a broad ambient temperature range.
