Banner Engineering SM312DMS12-27146 Photoelectric Diffuse Sensor

The Banner Engineering SM312DMS12-27146 is a compact Mini-Beam diffuse photoelectric sensor designed for reliable presence detection in tight spaces. As part of Banner's self-contained Diffuse/Distance sensor lineup, it uses diffuse sensing to detect targets based on reflected light, eliminating the need for a separate reflector in many applications. The part is RoHS compliant and manufactured in the United States, with a weight around 0.264 kg, reflecting its sturdy, industrial build. Banner catalogs this model under the Distance Photo category, confirming its role as a compact diffuse sensor within the SM312 family. For installations requiring longer runs, Banner notes long cable options via the W/30 suffix on cabled sensors, enabling up to nine meters of cable.
