Baumer Electric FHDK 10P1412 KS35A Photoelectric Sensor

Baumer Electric FHDK 10P1412/KS35A is a compact diffuse photoelectric sensor designed to detect nearby objects by reflected light, and it sits in Baumer’s FHDK family as a small‑mount, noncontact switch for automation lines. It operates from a DC supply in the 10–30 V range and is described in listings as a small‑mount sensor, making it suitable for tight spaces on conveyors, pick‑and‑place setups, and other light‑detection tasks where a simple presence signal is needed. The model is listed as discontinued by multiple distributors, which affects sourcing and replacement planning. This configuration is identified specifically as a diffuse photoeye type, aligning with Baumer’s diffuse sensing approach for straightforward surface detection and short sensing distances typical of diffuse sensors. When selecting a replacement, confirm compatibility with your control system and mounting constraints to ensure continued reliable operation.
