Mouser: IDEC SA1N Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors
IDEC SA1N Subminiature Photoelectric Sensors are compact sensors with high accuracy and performance. These IDEC sensors with a built-in amplifier are versatile and reliable enough for a wide variety of industrial automation applications. SA1N sensors can quickly detect the presence or absence of objects from up to 50mm away (30mm for the block type).
The SA1N’s subminiature size and small sensor head make it easier to install. Both versions are <30mm long. The built-in amplifier offers further space savings. Compared to traditional fiber optic sensor cables, the SA1N’s cable has a higher wire bend radius and tolerance. Users can customize the installation and cable routing without worrying about wire breaks.
The sensitivity control dial is easy to find on each version of the SA1N. Users can adjust the sensitivity after installing the sensor. The fiber type’s stainless-steel housing and plastic encapsulation have an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance. This protection ensures that sensor interference is significantly reduced.
