SICK UC4-13341 Rectangular Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor UC4, M3 150 mm 200mA PNP 30V 30 V dc

SICK UC4 Series Proximity Sensor, 150mm Maximum Detection, 30V Maximum Supply Voltage - UC4-13341

This proximity sensor detects nearby metallic targets in industrial control and automation contexts. Housed in a rectangular plastic body with threaded mounting, it provides a contactless switching output for integration with control systems and machinery. The device operates across a broad temperature range and is suitable for installations requiring a sealed sensor with connector wiring.

Features and Benefits:

• PNP output offers straightforward sourcing Interface for controls
  150mm detection range enables longer target sensing distances
  IP65 and IP67 ingress protection permits wet and dusty environments
  24ms response time supports moderate-speed detection tasks
  30V DC maximum supply supports standard low-voltage systems
  200mA switching current handles common input loads

Applications

• Suitable for conveyor object detection in manufacturing lines
  Ideal for presence sensing on assembly jigs and fixtures
  Used with PLC inputs in packaging and material handling systems
  Can be used for end-of-travel sensing on industrial actuators

What connector type does it use for wiring connections?

It employs a 3-pin M8 connector for straightforward plug-and-play linkage to sensors and harnesses.

How is the unit mounted to equipment?

The sensor has a threaded M3 mount allowing secure fastening into panels or brackets using standard screws.

What electrical limits should be observed during installation?

The device must not exceed 30V DC supply and should be protected within circuits expecting up to 200mA switching loads.

What environmental temperatures can it tolerate in operation?

It functions reliably from -25°C up to a maximum of 70°C for a wide range of ambient conditions.

What switching frequency is appropriate for cycling applications?

The sensor is suited to applications operating up to 30Hz switching frequency for repetitive detection tasks.
