SICK Contrast Sensor RGB LED 12.5 mm, NPN, 50 mA, IP67 24V dc

This contrast sensor is a Compact electronic detector designed to discriminate tonal differences in materials within automated systems. Suited to industrial environments, it operates from a 24V supply and provides a clear Visual status via an RGB LED. The unit is intended for PCB installation and connects through an M8 male connector, making it suitable for integration into machine sensing assemblies.

• RGB LED status display provides immediate Visual feedback
• IP67-rated enclosure permits use in dusty and wet conditions
• NPN output topology integrates with common control logic
• 15 kHz switching frequency supports high-speed detection
• Maximum detection range of 12.5mm enables short-range sensing
• Low current draw of 50 mA minimises power loading on circuits

• Suitable for print registration control on fast-running machines
• Ideal for edge detection in pick-and-place equipment
• Used for colour/contrast sorting in conveyor lines
• Can be used for surface-inspection triggers in assembly cells

The outer Shell is manufactured from ABS plastic, offering a balance of toughness and light weight that suits PCB-mounted installations where mechanical loading is moderate.

The device functions correctly between -10°C and 55°C, allowing deployment in many indoor industrial settings with controlled thermal conditions.

An M8 male connector provides the Terminal Interface for power and signal, simplifying wiring to existing harnesses and control cabinets.
