42KB Micro Rectangular: 5V DC Version
Description
42KB Micro Rectangular self contained photoelectric sensors
offer high performance in a compact 10mm x 15mm x 25mm
rectangular housing. These sensors offer extended sensing
ranges and a fast 1ms response time. Light or dark operation
can be selected through a separate connection made at
installation.
Each 42KB sensor comes complete with a steel right angle
mounting bracket which provides a variety of mounting
options.
