Eaton 13103A6517 Diffuse Reflective Sensor

Product Description

The EATON 13103A6517 is a diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor used in industrial and commercial sensing applications. Diffuse reflective sensors detect objects by emitting a light beam and receiving the reflection directly from the target, eliminating the need for a separate reflector or receiver. This design makes installation straightforward in tight spaces or on single-sided mounting surfaces. Electricians and automation technicians install this type of sensor in control panels, conveyor systems, assembly lines, and other automated equipment where reliable, non-contact object detection is required.

This sensor is suited for use in industrial automation environments where detecting the presence, absence, or position of an object is necessary without physical contact. Typical applications include packaging machinery, material handling systems, and process control equipment. It is installed by qualified electrical or automation professionals as part of a broader control circuit.

Key Features

• Diffuse reflective detection principle — no separate reflector required
• Non-contact object detection for reliable, wear-free operation
• Compact form factor suitable for single-sided mounting installations
• Designed for integration into industrial control and automation systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor for industrial automation and control system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician familiar with low-voltage control wiring and applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the control circuit and lock out the power source before mounting or wiring the sensor. Verify alignment and sensing range against the target surface during commissioning. Avoid mounting in environments that exceed the sensor rated operating conditions.
