1104605

Overview

The SICK model 1104605 is a photoelectric sensor belonging to the G10 series, designed for industrial transmission applications. It features a block-style housing and utilizes a polarized red light source to ensure reliable detection of targets against complex backgrounds. The device employs a PNP output configuration for signal processing and connects via a 4-pin connector interface. This specific part number represents the standard variant within the G10 family, optimized for panel mounting in automated systems requiring precise object presence verification.

Feature Summary

• Utilizes polarized red light technology for enhanced detection stability on reflective surfaces
• Features a robust block-shaped housing suitable for panel installation
• Equipped with a PNP switching output for direct integration into control logic
• Connects via a standardized 4-pin connector interface

Applications

• Object detection in automated packaging machinery
• Presence verification in food and beverage production lines
• Level monitoring in logistics and material handling systems
• Quality inspection stations in automotive assembly

Procurement Notes

Verify that the required cable length and connector type match the system design before ordering. Confirm that the supply voltage range aligns with the existing PLC or controller I/O specifications. Ensure the mounting bracket or panel cutout dimensions are compatible with the block housing geometry. Check for any specific environmental protection requirements regarding the IP rating needed for the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high contrast detection is not guaranteed due to shiny or transparent objects, as the polarized light feature mitigates interference from reflections. Choose the G10 series for applications requiring a compact form factor with reliable performance in moderate industrial environments. Consider the PNP output type if the downstream control system expects sourcing current signals. Evaluate the 4-pin connector convenience against the need for field-wiring flexibility.

Part Context

This component is part of SICK's G10 series, a line of photoelectric sensors known for versatility in factory automation. The G10 series covers various sensing technologies including diffuse, retro-reflective, and polarized retro-reflective types. Model 1104605 specifically denotes the polarized red light variant, distinguishing it from other G10 models that may use different light sources or output types such as NPN or analog signals.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacement requires verifying the electrical interface and mechanical footprint. Cross-reference with other SICK G10 series parts using polarized red light and PNP outputs. Ensure the new part supports the same operating voltage and load current capabilities. Mechanical compatibility must be confirmed if mounting hardware is reused.
