The E18-D80NK is an adjustable infrared proximity switch with a range of up to 80 cm in an M18 threaded housing.
The E18-D80NK is an adjustable infrared proximity switch with a range of up to 80 cm in an M18 threaded housing. It gives an NPN digital output and is far less affected by ambient light than small IR modules, making it ideal for industrial counting, conveyor and robotics projects.
