Molex offers Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors the smallest to-date self-contained miniature sensors on the market. These sensors are robust, self-contained inductive and photoelectric sensors with an integrated IO-link that offer compact housings, a large sensing range, and patented UV technology, making them ideal for limited-space applications and challenging environments.

Rugged automobile and industrial applications can be subject to shock, vibration or rough handling that can cause signal interference. Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric Sensors use single-piece metal housing, which makes them practically indestructible. Additionally, these sensors are compliant to IP67, 68, 69K and Ecolab, which makes them suitable for challenging environments.

Detecting clear or transparent objects (e.g., glass, transparent film, liquid, etc.) is extremely challenging. Contrinex Photoelectric Sensors (Ecolab approved) use patented UV technology to detect transparent objects. These sensors ensure transparent object detection up to 1200.00mm range.

Automotive and Industrial Automation OEMs require sensors that are resistant to shock, vibration and chemicals. Contrinex Inductive Sensors have a one-piece stainless steel construction. Rated to IP68 and IP69K and sized from M8 to M30, the sensors allow sensing distances up to 40.00mm.

Video Transcript

There are no participation trophies when it comes to automotive and industrial automation. Sensors need to do their job well in a tough environment, and now they need to be more compact and feature-filled. Molex Contrinex Inductive and Photoelectric sensors are small, self-contained, and rugged sensors that deliver excellent performance. Both types of sensors integrate an ASIC that minimizes variability and provides data over an IO-link interface, and each is available in a miniature form factor for limited-space applications.

Contrinex inductive sensors offer a long operating distance to reduce the risk of damage and have a one-piece metal housing that is resistant to mechanical damage and chemical exposure. The housing is rated up to IP69K, and the sensors can tolerate shock and vibration. Contrinex photoelectric sensors are available with sensing distances up to 50 meters, offer excellent color and contrast recognition, and have a UV light option for detecting transparent objects.
