Carlo Gavazzi PH18CND10PAM1SA Photoelectric Sensor

Carlo Gavazzi PH18CND10PAM1SA is a compact diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor that detects diffuse targets up to 1000 mm away using a polarity-free red light at 625 nm. It operates from 10 to 30 V DC and delivers a PNP output with complementary NO and NC contacts via an M12 connector. The rugged plastic housing carries IP67 and IP69K protection, with ECOLAB compatibility for use in sanitary or washdown environments. The sensor employs light/dark switching for reliable operation on reflective surfaces and is suited to presence or position sensing on conveyors, packaging lines, and automated machinery where space is at a premium. This variant PH18CND10PAM1SA is listed with a 1 m lead length by multiple distributors, confirming a practical 1-meter connection to control systems. With a nominal sensing range of 0–1000 mm and a 10–30 V DC supply, it provides straightforward integration into standard industrial control architectures that require a compact, M12-connected, PNP NO+NC output device.
