Space-saving subminiature photoelectric sensors for discrete sensing applications introduced by IDEC Corp.
SUNNYVALE, Calif. – IDEC Corp. in Sunnyvale, Calif., is introducing the SA1N series of space-saving subminiature photoelectric sensors for compact and high-performance in discrete sensing applications.
The SA1N series provides high accuracy and performance, and it is available in compact barrel and block form factors.
Two versions
The SA1N photoelectric sensors are available in two versions: a barrel-mount fiber-type diffuse-reflective infrared LED style, secured with M6 nuts through a mounting hole; and a block-type convergent-reflective red LED style, secured with two mounting holes located at a 14-millimeter pitch.
Both versions are all-in-one devices with built-in amplifiers and sensitivity adjustment control. The barrel-mount version has a 3-to-50-millimeter sensing range, while the block-type can detect over a 5-to-30-millimeter sensing range.
Both subminiature models are available in NPN or PNP light-on configurations, and provide a rapid 0.5-millisecond maximum response time.
Pigtail wiring
The photoelectric sensors come with 2-meter pigtail wiring, functioning at standard 24 volts DC with minimal current draw. They operate over a -25 to 55-degree Celsius temperature range. The barrel-mount version uses a stainless-steel housing and plastic encapsulation to achieve an IP67 rating, while the block-type is rated at IP64.
