Overview

The EE-SX674A is a T-shaped through-beam photomicrosensor designed for precise object detection in industrial environments. It features a 5mm sensing slot and operates on a wide supply voltage range from 5V to 24V DC. The sensor provides an NPN open collector output and includes a built-in indicator for easy status monitoring.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers high-speed response times of 1ms and flexible integration with both 5V and 24V logic systems. Its NPN open collector output can sink up to 100mA, making it capable of driving relays or PLC inputs directly. The rugged PBT housing and UL94 V-0 flammability rating ensure reliability in demanding industrial settings.

Applications

Limit Switching
Detecting the end-of-travel position for linear actuators and CNC axes.
Disk Rotation Sensing
Counting pulses from an encoder disk to monitor RPM or angular position.
Object Presence Detection
Identifying the arrival of small parts or components in automated assembly lines.

Getting Started

To use the EE-SX674A, connect the supply voltage (5-24V) to the positive terminal and ground to the negative terminal. Wire the NPN output to a digital input with an appropriate pull-up resistor if the microcontroller does not provide one. Ensure the optical axis is clear of debris to maintain the 1ms response performance.
