The 42KA-S2JNSA-A2 photoelectric sensor, manufactured by Allen Bradley, is classified as an ultra-miniature device designed to provide accurate sensing capabilities. It employs a sharp cutoff diffuse sensing mode, allowing it to effectively detect objects at a sensing distance of up to 30 mm. The optical view direction is oriented to the side, facilitating easy integration into different applications.
This sensor utilizes a red LED as a light source, operating at a wavelength of 660 nm, enhancing visibility during operation. Functioning with a 24 VDC power supply, it produces a sink-type output (NPN), making it suitable for numerous automation tasks. The maximum load current supported by this model is 80 mA, emphasizing its utility in various settings.
With a response time of just 0.5 milliseconds, the sensor is capable of quick detections, which is critical for systems requiring rapid feedback. Constructed from polyester, its housing ensures durability in a variety of environments. The lens is composed of vinyl chloride, providing additional protection to the internal components.
With an IP40 rating, this sensor is resistant to dust ingress and light water splashes, enabling reliable performance in industrial environments. Furthermore, the NEMA 1 enclosure type indicates that it is suited for indoor applications where basic protection is needed. Overall, the 42KA-S2JNSA-A2 sensor delivers exceptional performance within a compact framework.
