Overview

The EE-SX671P-WR 1M is a global-standard L-shaped photomicrosensor featuring a 5mm sensing slot and a pre-wired 1-meter cable. It provides a PNP output with selectable Dark-ON or Light-ON operation, allowing for flexible integration into industrial control systems without external logic inversion. The unit includes a built-in red light indicator for quick visual confirmation of the sensor state during alignment and operation.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor supports a wide supply voltage range from 5V to 24V DC and handles load currents up to 50mA, making it compatible with both microcontrollers and PLC inputs. Its L-shaped chassis and pre-wired 1-meter lead simplify mounting in tight mechanical spaces while reducing the need for separate connector assemblies.

Applications

End-of-Travel Detection
Used as a limit switch in linear stages and CNC machinery to detect moving parts passing through the 5mm slot.
Shaft Encoder
Monitoring the RPM or position of a rotating disc with precision-cut slots in motor-driven systems.
Parts Counting
Detecting small components on assembly lines or feeders as they break the optical beam.
Robotic Home Positioning
Providing a highly repeatable reference point for robotic arm joints during initialization sequences.

Getting Started

Wire the brown lead to 5-24V DC and the blue lead to ground. To select between Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, connect the pink control wire to either VCC or GND according to the datasheet logic table. The black output wire can then be connected directly to a PLC input or a microcontroller digital pin with an appropriate pull-down resistor.
