Banner Engineering SM312DQDP Photoelectric Sensor

The SM312DQDP MINI-BEAM diffuse photoelectric sensor from Banner Engineering provides a 380 mm (14.961 in) sensing range in a compact rectangular package designed for tight spaces, with diffuse infrared sensing tailored for short-range object detection on conveyor lines and in pick-and-place cells. It operates on 10-30 V DC and offers both NPN and PNP outputs with selectable Dark-ON or Light-ON operation, enabling straightforward integration into common control circuits without external converters. The unit is IP67-rated for rugged industrial environments and features a rapid 1 ms response time, with an infrared LED light source optimized for diffuse sensing. Wiring is via an 8 ft (2.4 m) DB9 9-pin pigtail for easy connection to standard automation equipment.
