PM-T45 Panasonic Retroreflective Sensors

Panasonic PM-T45 is a compact U-Shaped (fork type) photoelectric sensor designed with a 5mm passageway. It operates within an ambient air temperature range of -25 to +55°C and is pre-equipped with a connector for ease of connection. This sensor features a U-shaped fork design, with a sensing distance of 5mm and utilizes infrared (IR) light with a wavelength of 940 nm for detection. It offers two digital outputs: one NPN open-collector output for Light-ON and another for Dark-ON, both supporting 24Vdc at 50mA. The PM-T45 has a rapid response time of 100µs (0.0001 s) and includes an orange LED as a visual position indicator. Its current consumption is minimal at 15mA (0.015 A), and it can detect objects as small as 0.8x1.8mm.
