Baumer Electric FZDM 08P1001 S35L Photoelectric Sensor

Baumer FZDM 08P1001/S35L is a subminiature diffuse photoelectric sensor that uses intensity-difference detection for close-range object sensing. Its 8 mm-wide, 58 mm-high, 12 mm-deep aluminum anodized housing with PC front optics keeps the unit compact while resisting industrial conditions. The device provides a PNP switch output (light-operate) from a 10–30 V DC supply, capable of delivering up to 100 mA, with typical quiescent current around 20 mA and a no-load maximum of 42 mA. Detection is specified with a sensing distance Tw of less than 40 mm, using a pulsed infrared diode at 880 nm. Key protections include reverse-polarity protection, short-circuit protection, and an IP65-rated enclosure for rugged environments; the sensor connects via a three-pin M8 connector. Additional indicators include a red LED, and there is no sensitivity adjustment required due to the fixed intensity-difference sensing approach. The part is cataloged as article number 10238049. This Baumer FZDM series device is designed for compact, reliable short-range detection where target reflectivity may vary, featuring a fast response time (< 1 ms) and operation across -25 to +65 °C.
