EE-SX673
Overview
The EE-SX673 is a transmissive u-shaped photomicrosensor designed for industrial sensing applications. It features a 5mm sensing gap and a flexible NPN open collector output that can be configured for either Light-ON or Dark-ON operation. Operating over a wide 5V to 24V supply range, it provides a fast 1ms response time suitable for high-speed position detection.
Why Choose This Part
The sensor is highly versatile due to its selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON output logic and broad voltage compatibility. Its chassis-mount design with a built-in connector simplifies mechanical integration and maintenance in rugged environments. The 100mA output current capability allows it to drive small relays or PLC inputs directly without additional amplification.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To use the EE-SX673, connect the Vcc (5-24V) and GND pins, then wire the NPN open collector output to a digital input with a pull-up resistor. Use the control terminal to select between Light-ON and Dark-ON logic states. Ensure the sensing slot is kept clear of heavy dust or debris to maintain optical signal integrity.
