Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C3T20PC Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C3T20PC is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object and access detection in industrial automation and safety-related applications. Featuring a PNP normally closed output, it provides dependable switching for control systems requiring robust non-contact sensing.
The PB10C3T20PC uses infrared through-beam sensing and is designed to operate with a corresponding transmitter across distances of up to 20 m. Its dark-switching operation changes the output state when the transmitted light beam is interrupted, making it suitable for detecting people, products and moving equipment.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, 5 m pre-wired cable and durable IP67 plastic cylindrical housing, the PB10C3T20PC is well suited to demanding industrial installations. The sensor is identified as Code 3 and supports applications associated with industrial doors, gates and automated machinery.

Reliable Photoelectric Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensors use a separate transmitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The receiver continuously monitors the transmitted light beam, allowing the control system to detect an object whenever that beam is interrupted.
The PB10C3T20PC combines long-range infrared sensing with a PNP normally closed output and rugged IP67 construction. This makes it suitable for dependable presence detection in automated machinery, access systems and industrial door or gate installations where reliable optical sensing is required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial doors and automated gate systems.
- Machine guarding and access detection.
- Conveyor object detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling equipment.
- Industrial automation and PLC input systems.
