Banner Engineering SM2A312CV2QD Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering's SM2A312CV2QD is a compact MINI-BEAM AC Voltage Series photoelectric sensor with a convergent beam and a 43 mm focal point for fixed-target detection. It operates on 24–240 V AC and provides a solid-state SPST output, enabling straightforward on/off signaling in automation circuits. This self-contained unit features a visible red 650 nm emitter and a maximum sensing distance of 43 mm, housed in a rugged rectangular enclosure with M18 mounting for easy integration into industrial equipment. The "QD" suffix indicates a 3-pin Micro-style quick-disconnect cable option, and this variant ships with a 2 m (6.5 ft) cable terminated by a 3-pin Micro QD connector. Common applications include reliable near-field detection of small parts on production lines and other automation tasks where precise, repeatable sensing is required.
