Overview

The EE-SX674 is a T-shaped transmissive photomicrosensor designed for high-reliability industrial sensing with a 5mm slot width. It features a wide supply voltage range from 5V to 24V and provides a PNP open collector output capable of switching up to 100mA. The sensor includes a built-in red light indicator for easy monitoring of the sensing status and supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON operation modes.

Why Choose This Part

The sensor offers a fast 1ms response time and robust performance across a -25C to 55C temperature range. Its T-shaped housing with a 10mm slot center allows for versatile mounting in tight mechanical assemblies, while the 100mA output capacity enables direct driving of small relays or PLC inputs.

Applications

Limit Switching
Used as an end-stop or home position sensor in linear motion stages and CNC machinery.
Object Counting
High-speed detection of small objects or encoder disk vanes passing through the 5mm sensing slot.
Robotic Grippers
Integrating into end-of-arm tooling to confirm the presence of a workpiece within a specific clearance.
