Banner Engineering Q45BW22FQ Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering Q45BW22FQ is a rugged, one-piece photoelectric sensor in the Q45 series designed for durable installation in demanding industrial environments and powered from 90 to 250 VAC with a protected solid-state relay output rated to 300 mA at up to 250 VAC. It supports multiple sensing modes—opposed, diffuse, retroreflective, and convergent—with glass and plastic fiber optic options, and offers selectable light or dark operate to match different targets. The unit provides a clear status indication with Power, Signal and Output LEDs, and it can be shipped with prewired 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) unterminated cable, or Mini- or Micro-style quick-disconnect fittings for flexible mounting. Built to withstand washdowns up to 1200 psi and with IP67/NEMA 6P protection, the Q45BW22FQ is designed for rugged manufacturing lines; Banner also notes it should not be used for personnel protection. For integration, this SPST output sensor can be augmented with Banner’s plug-in modules for timing logic or signal-strength display, and it is suitable for applications such as detecting parts on conveyors or in packaging, where a reliable, threshold-based sensing solution is required.
