Banner Engineering SM2A312DQD Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering SM2A312DQD is a Mini-BEAM diffuse-mode photoelectric sensor that operates on 24-240 VAC and delivers a 380 mm (15 in) sensing range with a 3-pin Micro Integral QD connector for quick disconnect. In diffuse mode, it uses an infrared sensing beam and provides a SPST solid-state output across a two-wire circuit, making it suitable for straightforward part-detection on automation lines. The unit carries an IP67 enclosure with a NEMA 4X rating, offering robust protection against dust, water, and harsh industrial environments. A visible red indicator shows power status while the infrared sensing beam enables reliable detection of objects under typical factory lighting conditions. This self-contained sensor is designed for diffuse detection on conveyors, packaging lines, and general machine-sensing tasks where a compact, field-installable device is advantageous. The SM2A312DQD features a 3-pin Micro Integral QD connector to simplify installation and replacement on Banner systems and compatible amplifiers, helping minimize downtime in busy manufacturing settings.
