The SICK OD2-P30W04C2 is a 2D laser displacement sensor from the OD Value series, delivering a PNP discrete output for presence and position verification within a ±4mm window centered at 30mm. The 26.0mm to 34.0mm installation distance defines the standoff range where the sensor achieves its rated accuracy — mount the target within that band or the measurement falls outside the calibrated field. The 12 ~ 24VDC supply gives you flexibility for common industrial DC rails, but the sensor draws its peak current at the low end; if you're running a 12V bus, confirm the supply can hold regulation under the sensor's inrush. IP67 ingress protection means the housing and cable entry are dust-tight and survive submersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes — suitable for washdown zones in food processing or outdoor installations where the sensor sees rain and hose spray.
The OD2-P30W04C2 has an Active lifecycle status. No last-time-buy or phase-out notice is on record.
Peer cross-reference note
The OD2-P30W04C2 shares identical mechanical and electrical specs with the OD2-P30W04U2, OD2-P30W04A2, and OD2-P30W04I2 — same chassis mount, same 12~24VDC supply, same IP67 rating, same 26.0mm to 34.0mm installation distance. The only difference is the output type: the C2 variant outputs PNP, while the U2 is NPN, the A2 is analog, and the I2 is IO-Link. If the panel was wired for an OD2-P30W04U2, the C2 drops into the same footprint and cable termination, but the output logic flips — verify the PLC input card sinks or sources accordingly.
