Omron EE-SX672 Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX672 is a T-shaped through-beam photomicrosensor designed with a fixed 5 mm sensing slot and a slot center positioned at 7 mm. Its integrated transmitting and receiving sections maintain a non-modulated optical path across the opening, while the NPN output changes when a target passes through the sensing point. Dark-ON and Light-ON operation can be selected to suit different switching requirements. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 12 mA with the L terminal open. Its output supports up to 100 mA load current, while a red indicator supplies visual operating feedback. A 4-pole connector provides electrical integration. The EE-SX672 provides a T-shaped format within the 5 mm grooved sensor range across Omron T-Shaped Sensor Products.

The Omron EE-SX672 Photomicrosensor uses a T-shaped body with a built-in through-beam optical path across a fixed 5 mm sensing slot. The slot center is positioned at 7 mm, defining the relationship between the opening and mounting geometry. It operates from 5 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN output with selectable Dark-ON or Light-ON switching. Current consumption is specified at 12 mA with the L terminal open, while the output supports up to 100 mA load current. Residual voltage is stated at 0.8 V max. with a 100 mA load and 0.4 V max. with a 40 mA load. A red light indicator provides operating status, a 4-pole connector provides electrical connection, and the optical signal is non-modulated.
With its T-shaped configuration, the EE-SX672 uses a PBT case with polycarbonate emitter and receiver covers. Operating temperature extends from -25°C to 55°C, while storage temperature covers -30°C to 80°C without freezing or condensation. The stated vibration range is 20 to 2,000 Hz with peak acceleration of 100 m/s² and 1.5 mm double amplitude during the specified test period. Shock resistance is 500 m/s² three times along each X, Y, and Z direction, and the enclosure carries an IP50 rating. Its NPN output, 100 mA load capacity, selectable switching logic, and 7 mm slot-center geometry provide a defined option for compact equipment.
