IFM Electronic GmbH OGP301 Photoelectric Sensor

The IFM Electronic GmbH OGP301 Photoelectric Sensor is a retroreflective, non-contact object detection and position-sensing device designed for harsh industrial environments. As a Photo Sensor, it detects targets at long range—up to 18 m with a reflector—and uses an M12 quick-disconnect connector with PNP output for 10–36 VDC systems. Built in a stainless steel cylindrical housing with M18 mounting, it carries IP65, IP67, IP68, and IP69K protection and operates from -25°C to +80°C, with reverse polarity and short-circuit protection for reliable duty in production lines. Its visible red light LED enables dependable sensing at speeds up to 1000 Hz and is commonly used on conveyors, pallet detection, packaging equipment, and warehouse automation where non-contact sensing is required. Certifications include CE, cULus, UKCA, EN 60947-5-2. Common replacements include the IFM OGP500 retroreflective sensor, making the OGP301 a compatible choice for retrofit or expansion of existing retroreflective setups.
