Panasonic PM-K65 | Compact U-Shaped Photoelectric Sensor, 6 mm

Panasonic PM-K65 | Micro Through-Beam Sensor with 6 mm Slot – NPN Output

Overview

The Panasonic PM-K65 is a compact U-shaped micro photoelectric sensor with a 6 mm slot width and built-in amplifier. It uses a through-beam sensing method for reliable detection of small parts and objects, making it ideal for applications in automated manufacturing, packaging, and electronic assembly lines.

With fast response time, high repeatability, and an NPN open-collector output, the PM-K65 delivers high-precision detection in space-constrained environments.
