Omron EE-SPY312 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SPY312 is a vertical convergent-reflective photomicrosensor designed for target sensing across a short 2 to 5 mm range. Its convergent optical arrangement defines the sensing zone close to the sensor, while a modulated optical signal supports stable operation. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with Dark-ON switching. Average current consumption is specified at 15 mA maximum and peak consumption at 50 mA maximum. The output supports a maximum load current of 80 mA, while a special connector provides electrical integration. A red indicator gives visual operating feedback. The EE-SPY312 supports the vertical convergent sensor range from Omron Sensing Products.

The Omron EE-SPY312 Photomicrosensor uses vertical convergent-reflective sensing across a short 2 to 5 mm range. Its optical arrangement defines a compact sensing zone in front of the sensor, allowing nearby objects to influence the reflected signal within the specified distance. The unit operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with Dark-ON switching. Average current consumption is rated at 15 mA max., while peak current reaches 50 mA. Maximum load current is 80 mA, with residual voltage stated as 1.0 V max. at an 80 mA load and 0.4 V max. at 10 mA. A red light indicator provides visual operating status, and the optical signal is modulated. A special connector supports the electrical connection.
The EE-SPY312 uses a polycarbonate case together with a polybutylene terephthalate holder and operates within a temperature range of -10°C to 55°C. Storage temperature is specified from -25°C to 65°C, and operating humidity extends from 5% to 85%. Vibration resistance is stated from 10 to 50 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude for two hours along each X, Y, and Z axis, while shock resistance is 500 m/s² three times in each direction. The enclosure has an IP50 rating. Its vertical sensing direction suits compact layouts where the 2 to 5 mm sensing zone must face a different orientation from the horizontal version. For that horizontal alternative, refer to the Omron EE-SPY311.
