EE-SX672A PHOTO MICRO SENSOR

Description

The EE-SX672A is a slot-type photo micro sensor (photointerrupter) designed for precise object detection in compact industrial and electronic applications. It uses a through-beam infrared (IR) light system inside a T-shaped slot, where interruption of the light beam generates a switching signal. It is widely used in automation machines, counting systems, printers, and position detection mechanisms.

Key Features

• Slot-type photomicrosensor with T-shaped design
• Through-beam infrared detection method (940 nm IR LED)
• 5 mm slot width for precise object sensing
• High-speed response up to 1 kHz switching frequency
• Wide operating voltage range: 5V to 24V DC
• NPN open-collector output for easy interface with PLCs and controllers
• Selectable Dark-ON / Light-ON operation mode
• Compact and lightweight module design
• Built-in indicator LED for operation monitoring
• High reliability for industrial automation applications
• Low current consumption (~12–35 mA typical)
