IFM O5H500 Diffuse Reflection Sensor – O5H-FPKG/US100

The IFM O5H500 is a compact, high-performance diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor featuring precise background suppression for reliable object detection up to 1800 mm. Optimized for accurate detection across various surface reflectivities—from white to black—the O5H500 uses a visible red light beam (624 nm) and offers a programmable PNP switching output with selectable light-on/dark-on logic. Its rugged IP67-rated polyamide housing, side lens design, and built-in Teach function make it ideal for automation, material handling, and packaging environments where precise sensing and background immunity are critical.
