Miniature Self-Contained Sensor

The Banner Q12AP6FF50Q3 is a compact fixed-field proximity sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a 10-30 V dc supply and provides a PNP output with a 50 mm sensing range. The device uses a visible red LED beam at 640 nm wavelength for reliable presence sensing. It is supplied new in a single pack.

Integration Requirements

This sensor fits into a build via a 3-pin M8 pico quick-disconnect pigtail measuring 0.15 m. The rectangular thermoplastic housing carries an IP67 rating for dust and water protection. It requires no adjustments and offers a 0.85 ms response time with 175 µs repeatability. A 120 ms power-up delay ensures stable start-up in automated systems.

Suitable Applications

This unit suits applications needing precise background suppression at a fixed 50 mm distance in temperatures from -20 °C to 55 °C. It is not for buyers who need remote teaching capability, intrinsically safe certification, or water detection features. Builders requiring analog output, IO-Link connectivity, or encapsulated hazardous-area construction should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How close can an object be before the 50 mm fixed-field range stops detecting it reliably?

The sensor uses background suppression at a fixed 50 mm range, so objects beyond that distance are ignored while closer targets are detected.

Does the IP67 housing stay cool enough during continuous 10-30 V dc operation at 55 °C ambient?

The unit draws only milliamps at 10-30 V dc, so self-heating is minimal and the thermoplastic housing remains within its -20 to 55 °C rating all day.

Will the 3-pin M8 pigtail plug into my existing Banner QD cable without an adapter?

Yes, the 0.15 m pigtail terminates in a standard 3-pin M8 Pico quick-disconnect that matches Banner QD cordsets.
