Industrial sensing component
The Sick VS/VE12-2N132 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for automation and control tasks. It suits engineers and electricians who need reliable object detection across a defined distance in industrial environments.
Build integration needs
The sensor requires a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and connects via a four-wire PVC cable measuring two metres in length. Its cylindrical metal housing uses an M12 x 1 round connector thread and carries an IP67 enclosure rating for dust and water ingress protection.
Sustained operation behaviour
Operating temperatures from –25 °C to +70 °C are supported for continuous use. The infrared LED source delivers a 250 Hz switching frequency with a two-millisecond response time, while the NPN output handles up to 100 mA for stable signalling over long shifts.

Questions about this item
How far can the Sick VS/VE12-2N132 reliably detect an object before the sensing range limit is reached?
The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 0 m to 5 m, with a defined operating range of 0 m to 4 m for consistent detection.
What is the power consumption and enclosure rating of the Sick VS/VE12-2N132 during continuous operation?
It draws 20 mA from a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and is rated IP67, protecting the metal housing against dust and temporary immersion.
What supply voltage and connection type must already be available to install the Sick VS/VE12-2N132?
The sensor requires a 10 V DC to 30 V DC source and connects via a 2 m, 4-wire PVC cable with 0.14 mm² conductors.
