Idec Electronics has an all-new range of miniature photoelectric switches The SA1E range is described as a really low cost alternative in the main application areas for photoelectric switches, with prices starting from just GBP 31

Measuring only 36 x 19 x 11mm, the SA1E switch provides through beam, retro-reflected (uses a reflector plate) and diffuse/spot reflected options (reflects from the object).

Up to 700mm range can be achieved for the diffuse switch and up to 10m is possible for the through beam transmitter/receiver pair.

There are two connection methods offered, either by a built-in cable or M8 connector.

Matching M8 cables are available of different lengths.

This remarkable little switch has a supply range of 12 to 24V DC, a switching speed of 1ms and with an IP rating of IP67 can be expected to operate in the harshest environments.

Sensitivity adjustment by potentiometer and operating and stability LED's are provided.
