Overview

The SICK LE20-2621 is a photoelectric sensor from the LE 20 series, designed for industrial automation applications. It features a short-body M30 housing with a sensing range of 10 mm and a switching frequency of 500 Hz. The device utilizes a PNP normally open output and connects via a male M12 connector. It operates on DC 3-wire wiring and carries an IP67 enclosure rating for protection against dust and water ingress.

Feature Summary

• Compact short-body design suitable for space-constrained installations
• High-speed switching capability for rapid detection tasks
• Robust metal housing with high ingress protection rating

Applications

• Object detection in automated assembly lines
• Position verification in packaging machinery
• Level monitoring in industrial processing equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm the cable length and connector type required for your system integration. Ensure the supply voltage matches the sensor's DC 3-wire specification. Confirm that the PNP output logic aligns with your PLC input module compatibility before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact form factor is required alongside precise short-range detection. The M30 thread size ensures compatibility with standard mounting accessories. Consider the 500 Hz switching frequency to ensure it meets the speed requirements of your application cycle time without signal loss.

Part Context

This component belongs to the SICK LE 20 series, which focuses on robust photoelectric sensors for general industrial use. The series offers various housing sizes and sensing ranges to accommodate different installation constraints while maintaining consistent performance standards across the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers within the same LE 20 series family if newer revisions are available. Verify mechanical dimensions and electrical pinouts to ensure direct interchangeability with existing mounting brackets and control wiring configurations.
