Allen-Bradley 42EF-D2MPAK-F4 Photoswitch Diffuse Sensor

Allen-Bradley 42EF-D2MPAK-F4 Photoswitch RightSight diffuse sensor delivers reliable short‑range object detection with a 500 mm sensing distance using a visible red LED, housed in a compact rectangular package designed for rugged environments. This DC-powered device operates from 10.8 to 30 V DC and provides two complementary LO/DO outputs in a source (PNP) configuration, with IO‑Link capability for advanced integration; it includes a 4‑pin DC Micro QD connector on a 152 mm (6 in) pigtail for quick wiring. In standard diffuse mode, the sensor features a 5° field of view and a 1 ms response time, making it suitable for assembly, packaging, and material-handling applications where fast, reliable presence sensing is required. The unit is rated IP67 and NEMA 6P, and withstands temperatures from -25 to 70 °C with 5–95% RH (noncondensing). Its compact dimensions are 46.7 mm in height, 34.5 mm in length, and 27 mm in width, with a 48.3 mm spot size at 500 mm. A visible red light source and 22 AWG cabling support robust performance in varied lighting and washdown environments.
