Sick WTB4-3P2161 Miniature Photoelectric Sensor
The Sick WTB4-3P2161 is a miniature photoelectric proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It uses background suppression to detect small objects reliably. The PNP switching output suits standard PLC input modules. Its compact rectangular housing fits tight machine spaces.
Practical Limits of 10-30 V DC Supply
The sensor operates only within a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply range with ripple below 5 Vpp. A 3-pin M8 connector handles power and signal, requiring a matching cordset. Enclosure ratings IP66 and IP67 protect against water jets and temporary immersion. Operating temperature spans –40 °C to +60 °C.
150 mm Maximum Sensing Range
The adjustable sensing range reaches 15 mm to 150 mm using a 5-turn potentiometer. Visible red PinPoint LED produces a 7 mm light spot at 50 mm distance. Background suppression ignores objects beyond the set point. Switching frequency reaches 1,000 Hz with response time under 0.5 ms.

Questions about this item
Which sensing range version should I choose for detecting small objects at close distance?
The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 4 mm to 150 mm and a standard sensing range of 15 mm to 150 mm, both using background suppression for reliable small-object detection.
What does the 1,000 Hz switching frequency mean for my application?
A 1,000 Hz switching frequency allows the sensor to detect up to 1,000 objects per second, suitable for fast processes with a response time under 0.5 ms.
What does the M8 3-pin connector cap in practice?
The M8 3-pin connector carries the 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply and the PNP light-switching output rated at 100 mA maximum current.
