Balluff BOS 18M-PA-1PD-E5-C-S4 Photoelectric Sensor

The Balluff BOS 18M-PA-1PD-E5-C-S4 is a cylindrical M18 diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor that detects targets by infrared light reflected from the surface, with a sensing range of 0 to 400 mm and a divergent beam suited to uneven or irregular surfaces. It operates from a 10 to 30 V DC supply and provides a PNP interface with normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) configurations, accessible through a 4‑pin M12 connector. The housing is brass and nickel‑plated, featuring a PMMA active surface that directly faces the target, and the compact Ø18 × 69 mm form factor fits tight spaces on automation equipment. This BOS0049 variant is designed for diffuse sensing tasks on industrial lines, offering reliable detection within its stated range and configured for either NO or NC operation via Balluff’s diffuse sensor options.
