The Omron EE-SX971-C1 is a compact L-shaped slot-type photomicrosensor designed for precise object detection across a 5 mm slot width. Its connector-type interface and grooved form factor make it easy to integrate into tight automation environments.
This model provides two independent NPN open collector outputsβsupporting both Light-ON and Dark-ON detectionβmaking it versatile for different logic requirements. With a low current consumption of 21 mA and a visible orange LED for status indication, it ensures both energy efficiency and ease of maintenance.
Built with high-durability PBT and PC materials, the EE-SX971-C1 performs reliably under demanding conditions, including temperatures from -25Β°C to 55Β°C. With a response-ready design and high shock/vibration resistance, it is ideal for applications like object counting, presence sensing, and part confirmation in compact systems.
