Why Choose the IMO QDID4/0P-0F Photo-Electric Switch?
The IMO QDID4/0P-0F is a compact direct diffuse photoelectric sensor from the IMO QD Series, designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation and machinery. Its miniature block-style construction provides a practical sensing solution where installation space is limited.
Using infrared emission, the QDID4/0P-0F detects light reflected directly from the target, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver. It provides an adjustable sensing distance of up to 1,500 mm and a PNP NO/NC transistor output, making it suitable for connection to common DC industrial control systems.
The sensor uses a convenient M8 connector rather than a permanently attached cable, simplifying installation, replacement and maintenance. Its miniature housing measures approximately 21 × 31.2 × 12.8 mm and provides IP67 protection, making the QDID4/0P-0F suitable for conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly systems and general factory automation.

Compact Direct Diffuse Detection for Industrial Automation
Direct diffuse photoelectric sensing places the light emitter and receiver in the same sensor housing. The QDID4/0P-0F emits infrared light towards the target and monitors the light reflected back from its surface. When sufficient reflected light is detected, the transistor output changes state, allowing object presence or position to be monitored without physical contact.
Because the target itself returns the sensing light, no separate reflector is required. Combined with its 1,500 mm adjustable sensing distance, PNP NO/NC output, miniature QD housing and detachable M8 connection, the QDID4/0P-0F provides a flexible sensing solution for compact industrial machinery and automated production equipment.

- Conveyor product and package detection.
- Packaging and wrapping machinery.
- Component presence and position monitoring.
