Banner Engineering S18AW3LQ Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering S18AW3LQ is an epoxy-encapsulated, barrel-mount photoelectric sensor from the S18 Series that operates on 20–250 V AC and uses a 5-pin electrical connection. It is configured as a retroreflective sensor that detects a target from the reflected beam and delivers a SPST output for straightforward wiring into control circuits. Built for harsh industrial environments, the S18AW3LQ features an IP69K-rated housing with Banner’s EZ-beam optics to maintain reliable sensing across challenging lighting and surface conditions. Typical applications include conveyors, packaging lines, and automated assemblies where a compact, AC-powered barrel sensor with a 5-pin interface is advantageous for reliable object detection and process control.
