Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C3T20PC Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C3T20PC is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object and access detection in industrial automation and safety-related applications. Featuring a PNP normally closed output, it provides dependable switching for control systems requiring robust non-contact sensing.
The PB10C3T20PC uses infrared through-beam sensing and is designed to operate with a corresponding transmitter across distances of up to 20 m. Its dark-switching operation changes the output state when the transmitted light beam is interrupted, making it suitable for detecting people, products and moving equipment.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, 5 m pre-wired cable and durable IP67 plastic cylindrical housing, the PB10C3T20PC is well suited to demanding industrial installations. The sensor is identified as Code 3 and supports applications associated with industrial doors, gates and automated machinery.
