Banner Engineering SM312CV2QD Mini-Beam Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering SM312CV2QD Mini-Beam photoelectric sensor is a self-contained DC sensor in Banner’s MINI-BEAM family, designed for tight-spaced sensing with a convergent beam and a 43 mm focal point that concentrates light on small targets. This 10-30 V DC device uses a visible red emitter at 650 nm and a convergent sensing pattern, delivering precise detection of small parts against various backgrounds, with the receiver and emitter integrated into a compact standard MINI-BEAM housing. Its outputs are bipolar: 1 NPN and 1 PNP, enabling easy interfacing to most PLCs and controllers, and it terminates through a 4-pin M12 integral quick-disconnect (QD) connector for quick, reliable field wiring. Ideal for packaging, inline assembly, or small-part detection in tight spaces, the SM312CV2QD offers Banner’s DC Voltage Series reliability in a compact package, making it a straightforward choice when a convergent, red-light Mini-Beam sensor is required.
