Omron EE-SX676 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX676 is an F-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor built around a fixed 5 mm sensing gap for compact machine sensing. An infrared LED establishes the internal optical path between the integrated emitter and receiver, while the NPN output changes according to the target condition in the slot. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected to match the required switching logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 12 mA maximum. A 4-pole connector provides the electrical interface, while load short-circuit protection supports the output circuit. For applications requiring an F-shaped connector model, the EE-SX676 belongs to the compact slot sensor range across Omron automation products.

The Omron EE-SX676 Photomicrosensor uses an F-shaped housing with a built-in through-beam optical path across a fixed 5 mm slot. An infrared LED forms the sensing beam between the integrated emitter and receiver, and the NPN output changes according to the target condition inside the opening. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected to suit the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 12 mA maximum. A 4-pole connector provides the electrical interface, making this model suitable where a detachable connector arrangement is preferred. Load short-circuit protection is included for the output circuit. Ambient fluorescent-light resistance is specified up to 1,000 lx on the receiver surface under the stated conditions.
The EE-SX676 uses PBT for the body and is specified for operation from -25°C to 55°C, with storage from -30°C to 80°C. Mechanical resistance includes vibration from 20 to 2,000 Hz and shock of 500 m/s² under the stated test conditions. The enclosure is rated IP50. Its F-shaped geometry, 5 mm slot, NPN output, selectable switching mode, and connector interface make it suitable for compact position, passage, or movement sensing where a component can travel directly through the slot. For the pre-wired version using a 1 m cable while retaining the F-shaped body and NPN output, refer to the Omron EE-SX676-WR 1M.
