Ordering Key
The PA18CSR.. is a family of
inexpensive general purpose
Retro-reflective sensors in
industrial standard 18 mm
cylindrical PBTP housing.
They are useful for simple
applications where a basic
sensor provides adequate
sensing performance. The
sensors are simple to use
and no adjustment are nec-
essary. The output is a 4-
wire complementary (NO
and NC) output in NPN (cur-
rent sinking) or PNP (current
souring).
