PL40A Rectangular Reflector 40×60 mm Screw Mount | SICK

The Original New SICK PL40A (1012720) is a standard rectangular reflector designed for retro-reflective photoelectric sensors in industrial automation. Its 40 × 60 mm body and 37 × 56 mm reflective area deliver a stable return signal for reliable object detection across a wide range of sensor models. The reflector mounts via screw connection with two holes, allowing precise alignment with the sensor's optical axis. Constructed from PMMA/ABS and rated for operating temperatures from –30 °C to +65 °C, it is suitable for deployment in demanding environments, from cold storage to general factory floors.

Core Engineering Highlights:
37 × 56 mm reflective area | 40 × 60 mm overall body | PMMA/ABS construction | Screw‑on mounting (2 holes) | –30 °C … +65 °C operating temperature | Compatible with a wide range of SICK retro‑reflective photoelectric sensors
