Allen-Bradley 42KD-B2LAR3-Y4 Miniature Photoelectric Sensor, 1 to 50 mm Sensing, 500 us Response, NPN/PNP Output

Rockwell automation is pleased to introduce the Allen-Bradley® 42KD miniature family of photoelectric sensors. This family of LED sensors is the most complete family of miniature sensors on the market. Although tiny in size, these high performance sensors are reliable and easy to install in extremely confined spaces. The 42KD sensor features a visible red LED light source and is available in polarized retroreflective and fixed/adjustable background suppression sensing modes. With a sensing range up to 1.6 m, these powerful sensors have the option of light operate or dark operate and a unique auto PNP/NPN output which helps reduce stocking cost and simplifies selection, installation and maintenance. The 42KD background suppression models provide reliable object detection independent of the target size, shape or color. Other important features include a highly visible status indicator, push button teach and dovetail adjustable mounting bracket. The 42KD sensors are IP67 and ECOLAB rated and provide an excellent solution for a broad range of industries including automotive, packaging and material handling.
