Eaton Photoelectric Sensor Head, Forward Viewing, Diffuse Reflective

The Eaton Photoelectric Sensor Head is a forward-viewing, diffuse reflective photoelectric switch built for compact-footprint object detection on industrial machinery and automated lines. Housed in a die cast zinc enclosure measuring .31 in wide, .31 in deep, and 1.26 in high (1.25" diameter body), this sensor head pairs a rugged construction with a wide -40 °F to 212 °F operating temperature range, making it suitable for demanding plant-floor environments. A 108 ft PVC cable and NEMA 1 environmental rating round out a sensor designed for reliable, code-compliant performance.

Key Features

  • Sensor Type: Diffuse reflective photoelectric switch for accurate object detection without a separate reflector.
  • Forward Viewing Design: Configured for forward viewing to simplify mounting and alignment in tight machine spaces.
  • Durable Construction: Die cast zinc enclosure provides a rugged, long-lasting housing for industrial-duty use.
  • Compact Dimensions: .31 in product width, .31 in product length/depth, and 1.26 in product height with a 1.25" diameter profile for space-constrained installations.
  • Cord Length: 108 ft polyvinyl chloride (PVC) cable for extended routing between the sensor head and control equipment.
  • Operating Temperature Range: Rated from -40 °F minimum to 212 °F maximum for reliable performance across a wide range of ambient conditions.
