Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sensors, and in particular to a sensor quick connector module. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, many cylinders require sensors to control their stroke. To control the stroke, two or more sensors are typically used. Each sensor needs a separate signal wire, which is then connected to a controller. Each signal wire has two or three terminals: two-wire normally open and normally closed, and three-wire normally open and normally closed. Different combinations of electronic components require various PCB designs to hold different switches, which can easily lead to confusion.
