Industrial Diffuse Sensor 18 mm

This IFM Efector OGH502 is a cylindrical diffuse photoelectric sensor with an 18 mm diameter housing. It operates on a 10 to 36V DC supply and connects via a 4-pin M12 male connector. The unit uses an NPN output circuit with selectable light-on or dark-on operating modes.

Automation Engineers Needing Compact Presence

The right-angle M12 connector suits installations where cable routing space is limited behind the sensor face. Buyers who need a through-beam or retro-reflective sensing method should look at a different sensor type. Applications requiring a PNP output circuit or a larger sensing range than 300 mm are not covered by this model.

Maximum Sensing Distance 300 mm

The sensor detects objects up to 300 mm away using diffuse reflection, which determines whether it reaches the required target position. This distance fixes the mounting envelope for any given application. Verify that 300 mm satisfies the required detection zone before selecting this part.

Questions about this item

What power supply range is required for the OGH502 sensor?

The sensor operates on 10 to 36V DC, so a DC supply within that range is needed.

Will the 4-pin M12 connector on this sensor mate with my existing M12 cables?

Yes, the 4-pin M12 male connector follows the standard M12 pinout for compatibility with matching cables.

How can I verify the sensor is detecting objects at its rated distance after installation?

Use the selectable Light On/Dark On mode to confirm the output switches when a target enters the 300 mm sensing range.
