Overview
The Allen-Bradley 873P-D18P1-2200-D4 ultrasonic proximity sensor delivers reliable object detection for demanding industrial automation environments. This 18mm diameter sensor operates in diffuse mode with a maximum sensing range of 2200mm (7.87 to 86.61 inches), making it ideal for detecting materials at extended distances. Built with a plastic threaded barrel and Micro Quick Disconnect 4-pin DC connector, the sensor integrates seamlessly into existing control systems while offering a programmable output stage for flexible configuration.
