The Omron EE-SPY401 is a horizontal-type reflective photomicrosensor designed for detecting white objects up to 5 mm away. Using modulated light for improved stability, it ensures accurate sensing with reduced interference from ambient light sources.
This sensor operates in Light-ON mode and features an NPN voltage output, with a peak current consumption of 50 mA and an average of just 15 mA. It is connector-type, simplifying wiring in compact automation setups. A built-in red LED indicator offers immediate visual status feedback during use.
Housed in durable polycarbonate, the EE-SPY401 performs reliably in temperatures from -10°C to 55°C and is rated IP50 for general industrial environments. It’s widely used in applications requiring close-range reflective sensing, such as label detection, edge sensing, or presence confirmation in compact machines.
