Omron EE-SX972P-C1 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX972P-C1 is a T-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor that provides PNP switching across a fixed 5 mm sensing gap with the slot center positioned at 7 mm. Both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes are supported, allowing the output behavior to match the required control logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 21 mA, while the output supports up to 50 mA load current. Residual voltage is specified at 0.4 V maximum at 5 mA and 1.0 V maximum at 50 mA. An orange light indicator provides operating status, and a 4-pole connector provides the electrical interface. The EE-SX972P-C1 provides PNP operation within the through-beam slot sensor range from Omron sensing solutions.

The Omron EE-SX972P-C1 Photomicrosensor uses a T-shaped through-beam arrangement with a fixed 5 mm sensing slot, a 7 mm slot-center position, and PNP output. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine-control logic. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 21 mA. Maximum load current is specified at 50 mA, with residual voltage of 0.4 V maximum at a 5 mA load and 1.0 V maximum at 50 mA. An orange light indicator provides visual operating status, while the optical arrangement is non-modulated. A 4-pole connector provides the electrical interface. The T-shaped body positions the sensing slot according to the stated 7 mm center dimension.
The EE-SX972P-C1 uses PBT for the case and cover, with polycarbonate specified for the emitter and receiver sections. Operating temperature ranges from -25°C to 55°C without freezing or condensation, while storage extends from -30°C to 80°C. The stated mechanical ratings include vibration from 10 to 2,000 Hz and shock resistance of 500 m/s² under the specified procedures. The enclosure carries an IP50 rating. Its PNP output differentiates it from the NPN EE-SX972-C1 while retaining the same 5 mm slot, T-shaped body, 7 mm slot-center dimension, selectable switching modes, and connector interface. For the related NPN version, see the Omron EE-SX972-C1.
