Abstract
A connector assembly for an photoelectric sensor comprises a casing accommodating the photoelectric sensor, an angled sensor joint provided on the casing, an electric cable connecting the photoelectric sensor to an external circuit; and a cable connector provided at an end of said electric cable and detachably coupled to said sensor joint. The sensor joint is configured to have a rotation axis and is coupled to the casing in such a manner as to swivel about the rotation axis relative to the casing, thus enabling to select a suitable angular orientation of the sensor joint along which the cable is routed for neat wiring arrangement.
