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

  • Integrated Optical Transceiver – Stable performance with strong anti-interference capability
  • NO and NC Outputs – 4-wire connection provides both normally open and normally closed outputs
  • 500Hz Switching Frequency – Suitable for high-speed counting and detection
  • Fast Response – Less than 1.5ms response time
  • LED Status Indicator – Real-time visual feedback of detection state
  • Built-In Protection – Short-circuit, overload, and reverse-connection protection

Specifications

  • Power Supply – DC 10–30V
  • Detection Distance – 5mm (slot width)
  • Output Mode – PNP (4-wire)
  • Switching Frequency – 500Hz
  • Response Time – <1.5ms
  • Protection Rating – IP50
  • Dimensions – 26.2 × 25 × 7mm

Wiring

  • Brown – Positive (+)
  • Blue – Negative (−)
  • Black – Normally closed (NC) output
  • White – Normally open (NO) output

Ideal For

  • Object counting and material detection
  • Transparent object detection
  • End-stop and position sensing
  • High-speed event counting

Package Contents

  • 1× 4-Wire Slot Type Photoelectric Switch

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

DC
DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
