Panasonic CX-424 – Compact Photoelectric Sensor, Diffuse reflective, 100 mm, NPN. It belongs to the Panasonic Compact Photoelectric Sensor CX-400 Ver.2 series.
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.
