SICK WT12-2N130 Inductive Proximity Sensor

SICK WT12-2N130 Photoelectric Proximity Sensor is a compact sensor from the WT12 family that detects objects without physical contact using a photoelectric principle, featuring Background Suppression (BGS) to minimize false triggers from backgrounds and reflections. It provides an NPN transistor switch output and is designed for sinking-input compatibility with standard PLCs. The device operates on a DC supply of 10–30 V, a common range for industrial sensors, enabling reliable integration with typical control circuits. As a background-suppressed photoelectric sensor, it is well suited for applications where targets appear against cluttered backgrounds—such as on conveyors, packaging lines, and assembly stations—where robust detection is required in tight spaces. The WT12-2N130 is part of SICK’s compact sensing lineup, maintaining a small form factor while delivering reliable switching performance in industrial environments.
