Banner Engineering SM312CV 25621 Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering's SM312CV MINI-BEAM convergent photoelectric sensor is a compact, self-contained DC device designed for precise 16 mm sensing in tight spaces. The 25621 variant is the 2 m potted-cable version that provides both NPN and PNP outputs with LO/DO configurability (dark-on or light-on) and operates from a 10 to 30 VDC supply, making it adaptable to a wide range of control systems. Emitting a visible red 650 nm beam, this sensor delivers a 1 ms response time and a 16 mm sensing distance, with IP67 ruggedness and an enclosure that measures roughly 18 mm across the barrel and 33.3 mm in height, suitable for mounting on compact conveyors and small-assembly zones. The combination of a short-throw convergent pattern, robust ingress protection, and a pre-wired 2 m cable simplifies installation on crowded panels, reduces wiring complexity, and supports quick integration into part-detection, edge-monitoring, or feeder applications across manufacturing lines where fast, configurable sensing is required.
