Sick WTB27-3P2421 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor PNP
Photoelectric proximity sensor with background suppression detects objects from 30 mm to 1,600 mm using 880 nm infrared LED and provides PNP complementary output
- Background suppression enables precise detection up to 1,600 mm
- Infrared LED with 880 nm wavelength suits industrial environments
- PNP complementary output supports light and dark switching modes
- IP69K enclosure rating withstands high-pressure washdown
- Wide operating temperature from –40 °C to +60 °C
Industrial Photoelectric Proximity Sensor
The SICK WTB27-3P2421 is a rectangular photoelectric proximity sensor that uses background suppression to detect objects reliably. It operates on a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and draws 55 mA. The PNP complementary output switches at up to 350 Hz with a 1.5 ms response time. A 4-pin M12 male connector provides the electrical interface for automation systems.
Sensing Range and Infrared Performance
The sensor detects targets from 30 mm to 1,600 mm with a defined sensing range of 100 mm to 1,600 mm. An 880 nm infrared LED produces a 25 mm light spot at 800 mm distance. Potentiometer adjustment sets the switching threshold. The IP69K enclosure rating protects the ABS housing and PMMA optics against high-pressure wash-down and dust ingress.
Output Capacity and Environmental Limits
The PNP output delivers a maximum of 100 mA with a signal voltage of approximately supply minus 2.5 V for HIGH and 0 V for LOW. Circuit protection covers supply polarity, short-circuit and inductive load conditions. Operating temperature spans –40 °C to +60 °C while storage extends to +75 °C. The unit weighs 100 g and carries UL file numbers NRKH.E181493 and NRKH7.E181493.
