Mini Diffuse Reflective Photoelectric Sensor | IP67 NPN/PNP

This small sensor switch uses diffuse reflection to find objects. It does not need a separate reflector. Its thin, stainless steel body fits in tight machine spaces. The corrosion-resistant case works well in wet or chemical areas. Features and Benefits - Diffuse Reflective Sensing - Finds objects by bouncing light off their surface. This makes installation simple. - 304 Stainless Steel Body - The case resists rust from chemicals and frequent washing. This is good for food or pharma lines. - Ultra-Thin Profile - Its slim shape lets you mount it in small spots. Standard sensors will not fit there. - Adjustable Sensitivity - You can fine-tune detection. It works for different colors, materials, and textures. Applications - Conveyor Belt Control - Finds items for counting or placement on a conveyor. This includes bottles, cans, or boxes. - Small Parts Detection - Checks for small parts. It works in automated assembly or packaging machines. - Level Monitoring - Senses material levels in small hoppers or chutes. This helps manage refills. What It Is This is a non-contact float switch, a type of automated switch used to detect liquid levels. Unlike traditional physical switches that use a floating component, this device employs a diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor. This means it senses the presence or absence of liquid without direct contact. Its ultra-thin, mini form factor and stainless steel housing make it suitable for various applications. It operates on 12-24V DC and offers both NPN and PNP output types, with an IP67 protection rating for durability in wet environments. Key Uses & Applications This float switch is ideal for applications requiring reliable liquid level detection where contact with the liquid is undesirable or impractical. Its non-contact diffuse reflective sensing principle makes it suitable for corrosive liquids, sticky fluids, or situations where hygiene is paramount. Specific uses include tank level monitoring in industrial processes, overflow prevention in sumps, and automated pump control. The IP67 protection ensures it can withstand dust ingress and temporary immersion, making it robust for challenging environments. How to Choose When selecting a float switch, consider the liquid type and environmental conditions. For corrosive or viscous liquids, a non-contact diffuse reflective type like this one is preferable to a physical switch. Check the housing material; this product's stainless steel ensures durability. The operating voltage (12-24V DC) and output type (NPN/PNP) must match your control system. The IP67 rating indicates high protection against dust and water. Finally, the mini, ultra-thin form factor is important for installations with limited space.
