Telemecanique XUJ-K803538 Photoelectric Sensor

The Telemecanique XUJ-K803538 is a compact infrared diffuse photoelectric sensor designed for non-contact detection of objects in industrial automation. It provides an analog output in a 3‑wire PNP configuration and accepts 12–24 V DC supply, delivering a sensing range of 0.2–0.8 m with a 2 ms response time and up to 250 Hz switching speed. Built in a PEI housing with IP65 protection, it uses infrared diffuse emission for object presence and position detection, suitable for conveyor lines, packaging equipment, sorting systems, and material-handling applications where precise position sensing is required; common replacements include XUK5APANM12, XUJK803538, and XUK8AKSNM12. The sensor’s output supports 0–10 V DC or 4–20 mA signaling, and it draws about 35 mA no-load; certifications include CE, CSA, and UL for use in industrial environments, and the unit features screw-clamp terminals for straightforward wiring.
