The 120 mm maximum sensing distance (4 mm minimum) means it reliably detects objects at a fixed cutoff point, ignoring background surfaces past that threshold — useful on conveyor or pick-and-place stations where you need to see the part, not the belt or fixture behind it. The 500 µs response time lets it catch parts moving at moderate line speeds; the PNP output switches 100 mA, enough to drive a PLC input or small relay directly. Housed in a 12.2 mm wide package, it fits tight DIN-rail or bracket arrays where space is at a premium. The M8 4-pin connector keeps field replacement quick — no re-wiring, just unplug and swap. ## Deployment context Rated IP66/IP67, the sensor body and optics handle washdown and dust — suitable for food-and-bev packaging lines or outdoor conveyor transfer stations.","metaTitle":"SICK WTB4S-3P2232 Photoelectric Sensor, 120 mm, PNP, M8","metaDescription":"SICK WTB4S-3P2232 photoelectric proximity sensor with background suppression, 120 mm range, PNP output, M8 connector.
