Banner Engineering SMI30AN6RQ Barrel Photoelectric Sensor

Banner Engineering SMI30AN6RQ is a 30 mm barrel-shaped photoelectric receiver in the SMI30 Series, designed for intrinsically safe operation in hazardous environments where explosion protection is required. It provides a current sinking NPN open-collector output and operates on DC power up to 30 V, with a maximum current of 350 mA and a power dissipation of 750 mW. Built to perform in tough industrial settings, the device accommodates temperatures from −40°C to 70°C and carries IP40 ingress protection. The model is certified for intrinsic safety under ATEX and IECEx schemes and also carries CAN/CSA approvals, enabling use in multiple global hazardous-location standards. As part of Banner’s intrinsically safe SMI30 family, the SMI30AN6RQ is optimized for reliable object sensing in applications such as conveyors and other automated lines where safety-critical, explosion-rated electronics are required. With its robust 30 mm barrel form factor and specification alignment to intrinsic-safety parameters, this receiver offers a compliant solution for difficult environments that demand certified protection while delivering straightforward, digital switching performance.
