Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C1T20PC Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C1T20PC is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. Its compact 10 mm housing format makes it particularly suitable for applications where installation space is restricted.
The PB10C1T20PC is a channel 1 receiver with a PNP normally closed (NC) output. Used with the corresponding through-beam transmitter, it detects objects when they interrupt the optical path between the transmitter and receiver, providing dependable non-contact presence and position sensing.
With an integral cable connection and compact sensor body, the PB10C1T20PC provides a practical sensing solution for packaging machinery, assembly equipment, conveyors and other automated systems requiring a small through-beam photoelectric sensor.

Reliable Compact Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver units positioned opposite one another. The transmitter projects a light beam towards the PB10C1T20PC receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts the optical path. Because detection is based on beam interruption, performance is less dependent on the colour or reflectivity of the target than diffuse-reflective sensing.
The compact PB10C1T20PC combines this proven sensing principle with a PNP normally closed output and cable connection. Its small housing makes it well suited to machines where conventional cylindrical photoelectric sensors would occupy too much mounting space.
Typical Applications
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Compact conveyor systems.
- Object presence and position detection.
- Assembly and component handling equipment.
