Wenglor Sensoric GmbH TC66PA3 Photoelectric Sensor

The Wenglor TC66PA3 photoelectric sensor from Wenglor Sensoric GmbH combines stainless‑steel durability with reliable energetic reflex sensing for non‑contact object detection in demanding industrial environments. With a 1,000 mm sensing range and infrared light, it delivers stable switching for fast‑moving components on packaging lines, conveyors, and automated production equipment. The sensor operates from 10–30 VDC and provides a PNP NO/NC output rated up to 200 mA, making it suitable for direct drive or controller interfaces, and its reflex sensing configuration enables dependable detection of distant targets. Encased in an IP67‑rated, stainless steel housing, the TC66PA3 is built for washdown and dusty environments. It uses an M12 × 1, 4‑pin connection and offers potentiometer‑adjustable setting, with a switching frequency up to 1 kHz and a response time of 500 µs for high‑speed applications. Common replacements in automation ecosystems include the Banner QS18 and Omron E3Z photoelectric sensors, underscoring its compatibility with standard control architectures. Ideal for material handling, packaging automation, manufacturing equipment, and industrial inspection systems where accurate, continuous sensing is essential.
