Sick VT12T-2P410 Photoelectric Switch

The Sick VT12T-2P410 is a cylindrical photoelectric proximity sensor with an M12 x 1 thread and a 65.5 mm housing length. It uses an energetic detection principle with an infrared LED light source at 880 nm wavelength. The unit provides a PNP switching output with selectable light or dark switching modes. It is supplied new in a single pack box.

Practical limits of the sensing range and supply

The sensor offers a maximum sensing range of 0 mm to 115 mm with a defined sensing range of 2 mm to 100 mm. The light spot reaches approximately 20 mm diameter at 100 mm distance with an 11.4° dispersion angle. Operation requires a 10 V DC to 30 V DC supply voltage with a maximum 10% ripple. The switching frequency is 400 Hz with a 1.25 ms response time and a maximum output current of 100 mA.

Compatibility checks for your installation

Verify that your control system accepts a PNP output with a male M12 4-pin connector. Ensure the mounting location accommodates the cylindrical metal housing with nickel-plated brass and PA construction. Confirm the operating environment stays within the –25 °C to +70 °C ambient temperature range. The IP67 enclosure rating suits wet or dusty conditions but check that the PMMA optics material resists any specific chemicals present.

Questions about this item

What sensing range should I expect from the VT12T-2P410 in my setup?

The sensor detects objects from 2 mm to 100 mm using its energetic photoelectric principle with infrared LED at 880 nm.

How fast can the PNP output switch in a real machine?

The switching frequency reaches 400 Hz with a 1.25 ms response time, and the output handles up to 100 mA.

What does the M12 4-pin connector cap in practice?

The male M12 connector carries 10–30 V DC supply, PNP switching output, and the teach/control input on a single 4-pin interface.
