Product details

The SICK WE5-N132 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor in a rectangular housing, rated for 100 mA max output current with light/dark switching capability.

The 100 mA output current is typical for photoelectric sensor switching outputs — sufficient to drive a PLC input or a small relay directly. Light/dark switching gives flexibility to configure the output state for either presence or absence detection.

Frequently asked questions

Who supplies WE5-N132 and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

WE5-N132 is sourced through independent distribution channels. Volume pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.

When sourcing WE5-N132, what's the closest functional second-source — WE12-P4381?

The WE12-P4381 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with a similar 100 mA output and visible red LED, but it uses a metal zinc diecast housing and M12 connector, while the WE5-N132 has a rectangular housing. Wiring differences mean a panel designed for WE12-P4381 may need adapter cables or terminal changes.

What is WE5-N132's listed type?

The listed type is Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor.

What is WE5-N132's listed model?

The listed model is WE5-N132.

Will WE5-N132 drop into a panel that was specified around WE12-P4381 without rewiring?

No — the WE5-N132 has a rectangular housing, while the WE12-P4381 uses a metal zinc diecast housing with an M12 connector. The mounting footprint and connection type differ, so rewiring or adapter hardware is required.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for WE5-N132?

The evidence does not list specific compliance documents (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC) for this unit. For a used part, documentation may be limited to the original manufacturer datasheet.
