The Panasonic EX-11A is a ultra-slim Photoelectric Sensor: Ultra-slim Photoelectric Sensor, Thru-beam, 150 mm, NPN.
This sensor switches its output when the light beam is interrupted or reflected by the object; its small housing allows it to be fitted where larger sensors do not fit.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the complete Panasonic part number EX-11A; suffixes such as -P (PNP output), -C5 (5 m cable), -J (connector) or -R (rear sensing) change the version, so check the label of the old part.
The values in the table come from the official Panasonic Industry product data; if your old unit shows different values, send us a photo of its label and we will check it.
What to check first
- Sensing mode (thru-beam, retroreflective, diffuse)
- NPN or PNP output
- Mounting dimensions
