PM-U25-R

Part: PM-U25 (PM-25 Series, U type) — Panasonic

Type: U-shaped Micro Photoelectric Sensor (amplifier built-in, cable type)

Description: Ultra-small U-shaped through-beam photoelectric sensor with a fixed 6 mm sensing range, 5–24 V DC supply, NPN or PNP open-collector output at up to 50 mA, 20 μs / 80 μs response times, and an IP64 rating.

Operating Conditions:

• Supply voltage: 5 to 24 V DC ±10 %, ripple P-P 10 % or less
• Operating temperature: -25 to +55 °C (no dew condensation or icing; mount on a metal body at +50 °C or above)
• Ambient humidity: 5 to 85 %RH
• Ambient light: fluorescent light 1,000 lx at the light-receiving face

Absolute Maximum Ratings:

• Output applied voltage: 30 V DC or less (between output and 0 V for NPN, between output and +V for PNP)
• Maximum sink/source current: 50 mA
• Storage temperature: -30 to +80 °C

Key Specs:

• Sensing range: 6 mm (fixed)
• Minimum sensing object: 0.8 × 1.2 mm opaque object
• Hysteresis: 0.05 mm or less
• Repeatability: 0.01 mm or less
• Current consumption: 15 mA or less
• Residual output voltage: 2 V or less at 50 mA; 1 V or less at 16 mA
• Response time: 20 μs or less (light received), 80 μs or less (light interrupted); maximum response frequency 3 kHz
• Emitter: LED, 855 nm peak wavelength, non-modulated

Features:

• Three protection circuits: reverse supply polarity, reverse output polarity, output short-circuit
