A 4-wire slot-type photoelectric switch with integrated optical transmitter and receiver. The 5mm detection slot can detect objects passing through, including transparent materials, making it ideal for counting, position sensing, and high-speed object detection in industrial and hobby applications.
The module operates on 10–30V DC with PNP output and provides both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) connections simultaneously. Built-in short-circuit, overload, and reverse-connection protection ensure reliable operation. An onboard LED indicator shows detection status in real time.
Key Features

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
