Omron EE-SPY412 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SPY412 is a vertical convergent-reflective photomicrosensor designed for target sensing across a specified 2 to 5 mm range. A GaAs infrared LED with a 940 nm peak wavelength provides the optical source, while the convergent arrangement defines a compact sensing zone close to the sensor. The unit operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with Light-ON switching. Average current consumption is specified at 15 mA maximum, with peak consumption reaching 50 mA maximum. The output supports up to 80 mA load current, and a special connector provides the electrical interface. A red indicator supplies operating feedback. The EE-SPY412 supports the close-range reflective sensor range from Omron Infrared Sensor Products.

The Omron EE-SPY412 Photomicrosensor uses vertical convergent-reflective sensing across a specified range of 2 to 5 mm. A GaAs infrared LED with a peak wavelength of 940 nm provides the optical source, while the convergent arrangement establishes the short sensing zone in front of the sensor. It operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with Light-ON switching. Average current consumption is 15 mA max., with a peak value of 50 mA. The output supports up to 80 mA load current, while residual voltage is specified at 1.0 V max. at an 80 mA load and 0.4 V max. at 10 mA. A red light indicator provides operating status, and the modulated optical signal supports stable short-range sensing. A special connector provides the electrical interface.
The EE-SPY412 uses a polycarbonate case with a polybutylene terephthalate holder and has an approximate stated mass of 2.6 g. Its operating temperature range is -10°C to 55°C, while storage extends from -25°C to 65°C. Operating humidity is specified from 5% to 85%. Mechanical resistance includes vibration from 10 to 50 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude for two hours along each X, Y, and Z direction, together with shock resistance of 500 m/s² three times along each axis. The enclosure carries an IP50 rating. Its vertical orientation suits layouts requiring the short 2 to 5 mm sensing zone to face in a different direction from the horizontal model. For the horizontal alternative with Light-ON operation, see the Omron EE-SPY411.
