WTB9L-3N2261

Optical sensors are devices that detect the presence, absence, and/or change of a physical property and convert it into an optical signal. This signal is interpreted by a microcontroller and is then converted into a digital output. Optical sensors are versatile and can be used in a variety of applications. WTB9L-3N2261 is an industrial photoelectric optical sensor that belongs to the family of sensors used in industrial applications.

The WTB9L-3N2261 is a miniature, robust, and economical reflective photoelectric sensor with transmissive and absorptive sensing capacities. It includes an output type voltage pulse-type NPN NO/NC output, 1/4 (14-pole) M12 euro-style connector, and an extended sensing range of up to 400 mm. The switch element is grouped in a three-colored circuit and is highly robust. The switch element also provides high flexibility and scalable functions due to other characteristics such as different beam length, multiple lenses – reflection and transmission, a wide range of light sources – visible and infrared, power and data communication, and support for different control commands.
