Industrial Light Switch with Diffuse Sensing
The Omron Healthcare light switch uses a diffuse sensing method to detect objects without a separate reflector. It is suited for automation engineers who need reliable presence detection in tight machine spaces where retro-reflective or through-beam sensors cannot be mounted.
Stable Detection Across Extreme Temperatures
The fiber optic cable maintains its specified 165 mm maximum sensing distance throughout a continuous operating range of -40 to 302 degrees Fahrenheit. Fluoride resin sheathing protects the plastic core from thermal degradation and chemical exposure during prolonged production cycles.
M6 Threaded Tip Simplifies Mounting
The 2 mm diameter cable terminates in an M6 screw tip that threads directly into standard sensor brackets, eliminating alignment hardware. The 2 metre length reaches most panel entries without splicing, though installers must verify the minimum detectable object size of 0.005 mm diameter matches their application requirements.

Questions about this item
How much heat can the 302 °F-rated cable handle when the switch runs all day?
The fluoride-resin sheath is rated for continuous operation up to 302 °F, so extended use will not degrade the cable.
What mounting hardware is required for the M6 screw tip on this switch?
An M6 threaded hole or nut is needed to secure the tip; no other brackets or adapters are included.
Will the 0.005 mm minimum object size work with the larger targets on my existing line?
Yes, the diffuse sensor detects objects down to 0.005 mm, so it will also register the larger targets you currently use.
