mhr05nnc – photo tr pl m12 npn nc,cab
Carlo Gavazzi MHR05NNC is an M12 through-beam photoelectric receiver with a 5 m fixed sensing distance, 10–30 V DC supply, NPN normally closed output and 2 m cable for industrial object detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi MHR05NNC Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi MHR05NNC is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Featuring a cylindrical M12 threaded plastic housing, the sensor provides straightforward mounting in machinery, conveyors and automated production equipment where space is limited.
The MHR05NNC operates as the receiver in a through-beam photoelectric sensing system and is designed for use with the corresponding Carlo Gavazzi MHT05 transmitter. The transmitter and receiver are positioned opposite one another, creating an infrared sensing beam that enables dependable detection when an object interrupts the optical path.
This model provides a NPN normally closed (NC) transistor output, a fixed sensing distance of up to 5 m and a 10–30 V DC supply. A factory-fitted 2 m cable, IP67 protection and durable Luran® housing make the MHR05NNC well suited to general-purpose industrial sensing applications.

Reliable Photoelectric Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensors use separate transmitter and receiver units positioned across the detection area. The transmitter directs a light beam towards the MHR05NNC receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts that beam. This arrangement provides reliable detection across greater distances than many diffuse-reflective sensing methods.
The MHR05NNC combines a compact M12 format with a fixed 5 m sensing range and NPN NC switching output, making it suitable for integration with PLCs, machine controllers and other industrial automation equipment. Its IP67 plastic housing also supports dependable operation where exposure to dust or moisture is expected.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor object and product detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Production line presence detection.
- Material handling and sorting equipment.
- Automated assembly machinery.
- Industrial counting and positioning systems.
