Sick WL12-2P430 Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor PNP electrician tool

SKU CH-S3T4-Q127Y

Photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with PNP output detects objects up to 7 m using visible red LED and potentiometer adjustment

  • Visible red LED simplifies alignment
  • IP67 metal housing withstands harsh environments
  • 10–30 V DC supply fits common industrial power
  • 330 µs response detects fast-moving objects
  • Potentiometer adjustment enables quick range setting

Industrial Retro-reflective Sensor

The Sick WL12-2P430 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply with a PNP switching output suitable for automation logic. The visible red LED light source provides a maximum sensing range of 7 m and a defined sensing range up to 5 m. Adjustment is handled via a potentiometer for light or dark switching modes.

Metal Housing With M12 Connector

A rectangular zinc diecast housing measuring 15 mm x 49 mm x 41.5 mm protects the internal electronics to an IP67 enclosure rating. The optics use PMMA plastic while the 4-pin M12 male connector ensures a secure, vibration-resistant link. This construction supports an ambient operating temperature span of –40 °C to +60 °C and a storage range of –40 °C to +75 °C for harsh environments.

Check Voltage And Mounting Space

Verify that your control system supplies between 10 V DC and 30 V DC and can accept a PNP output with a 330 µs response time. Confirm the 15 mm by 49 mm footprint fits the intended bracket and that an M12 4-pin cable is available for wiring. The sensor carries UL file numbers NRKH.E181493 and NRKH7.E181493 for compliance reference.
