Innovative Space-Saving Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors Unveiled by IDEC Corp
Date: February 19, 2025
Location: Sunnyvale, California – IDEC Corp has unveiled its new SA1N series of compact subminiature photoelectric sensors, specifically designed for high-performance applications in discrete sensing.
The SA1N series is engineered for accuracy and efficiency, and it is offered in both barrel and block designs.
Two Distinct Versions
The SA1N photoelectric sensors are available in two configurations: one as a barrel-mount, utilizing a fiber-type diffuse-reflective infrared LED, and the other as a block-type convergent-reflective red LED, featuring two mounting holes at a 14-millimeter interval. The barrel-mount model achieves a sensing range of 3 to 50 millimeters, while the block-type can detect from 5 to 30 millimeters.
Both variants function as all-in-one solutions equipped with built-in amplifiers and sensitivity adjustment controls. Users can choose between NPN or PNP light-on configurations, delivering a swift response time of 0.5 milliseconds.
Reliable Pigtail Wiring and Environmental Endurance
These photoelectric sensors are equipped with 2-meter pigtail wiring and operate at a standard 24 volts DC, consuming minimal current. They perform efficiently across a temperature range of -25 to 55 degrees Celsius. The barrel-mount variant boasts a stainless steel housing with plastic encapsulation, achieving an IP67 ingress protection rating, while the block-type is rated at IP64.
