The Contrinex OD1-B035C15A14 is a 2D laser displacement sensor from the OD Mini series, giving you a compact profile measurement head for gap, step, and profile checks on a moving line. It talks RS485 over a 4-pin M8 connector, so it drops straight into a daisy-chain with other smart sensors on the same fieldbus segment. Supply is 12-24VDC — common rail in most control cabinets — and the IP67 rating means it survives washdown cycles without a secondary enclosure.
The rated installation distance is 20.0mm to 50.0mm from the sensor face to the target. That 30mm working window gives you some mechanical tolerance when building the bracket — you don't need a micrometer to set the standoff. Stay inside that band; outside it the laser spot geometry changes and the measurement linearity drifts. Chassis-mount body, so bolt it to a rigid bracket; vibration at the tip shows up as noise in the profile data.
This part carries an Active lifecycle status from the manufacturer.
Peer comparison — OD1-B035H15A15
The OD1-B035H15A15 shares the same 2D laser displacement type, OD Mini series, 20-50mm range, and IP67 rating. The difference is termination: the H15A15 uses a cable with connector instead of the bare 4-pin M8 connector on this C15A14. If your panel already has a flying-lead gland plate and you want to avoid an extra M8 pigtail, the H15A15 saves one junction. Otherwise the electrical and optical specs are identical — same supply, same RS485 protocol, same mounting footprint.
