Photoelectric diffuse sensor | 150mm | M12 | 10-30VDC | NO | NPN | 2m cable | nickel-copper housing | IP67
Code: PR12-BC15DNOThe photoelectric diffuse reflection sensor is a high-quality automation component designed for detecting opaque objects without physical contact.
Operating on the principle of diffuse reflection, the sensor uses an infrared LED light source and recognizes reflections from the object’s surface.
It is used both in industrial production processes and domestic systems where precise, fast, and reliable object detection is required.Made of a nickel-copper alloy, the sensor is durable, resistant to environmental factors, and features an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for dusty and humid environments.
An adjustable detection distance provides flexibility for various tasks, while the yellow LED indicator clearly displays the operating status in real time.-
