Genuine Panasonic CX-411 (Compact Photoelectric Sensor CX-400 Ver.2): Compact Photoelectric Sensor, Thru-beam, 10 m, NPN.
Photoelectric sensors detect objects without contact by means of a light beam; thru-beam types (separate emitter and receiver) give the longest range and the most stable detection, while retroreflective and diffuse types need wiring on one side only.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the complete Panasonic part number CX-411; 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
- Mounting dimensions
- Cable or connector type
- NPN or PNP output
