Carlo Gavazzi Through Beam Miniature Photoelectric Sensor 20 m Detection Range PNP NO/NC Output IP67 IP69K PH18CNT20PAM1SA

Carlo Gavazzi PH18CNT20PAM1SA Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor is designed for precise object detection in demanding industrial environments. This miniature sensor features a compact ABS housing and utilizes a modulated infrared LED light source operating at 850 nm to detect targets up to 20 meters away effectively.

The sensor offers a robust PNP output with normally open and normally closed contacts, facilitating flexible control applications. Its M12 connector terminal supports straightforward electrical connections, while the device operates over a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and can handle a maximum current of 25 mA.

With an IP67 and IP69K ingress protection rating, this sensor is capable of withstanding dust, water jets, and high-pressure cleaning processes, making it suitable for harsh industrial or outdoor settings. The device operates reliably between -25°C to 60°C, with a fast response time of just 1 millisecond, enhancing automation system efficiency.

Additional protective features include resistance to reverse polarity, short circuits, and electrical transients, ensuring sensor longevity and reliability. The PH18CNT series sensors are known for their excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance and flexibility due to sensitivity adjustment via a potentiometer.

Typical applications span industrial automation, manufacturing process control, packaging, and material handling systems, where compact sensor size and high accuracy are critical. Originating from Lithuania, the sensor adheres to international standards such as UL, IEC, and CSA, guaranteeing global compliance and safety.
