Omron EE-SX672A Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX672A is a T-shaped through-beam photomicrosensor built around a fixed 5 mm sensing slot with the slot center positioned at 7 mm. Its integrated transmitting and receiving sections maintain a non-modulated optical path across the opening, allowing the NPN output state to respond when a target passes through the gap. Dark-ON and Light-ON operation can be selected to match the required control logic. 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 4-pole connector provides electrical integration. A red indicator operates under the specified no-incident-light condition. The EE-SX672A supports the T-shaped photomicrosensor range across Omron Sensing Products.

The Omron EE-SX672A Photomicrosensor uses a T-shaped through-beam arrangement across a fixed 5 mm sensing slot with the slot center positioned at 7 mm. Its integrated sensing sections maintain the optical path within the sensor body, allowing components moving through the opening to change the output state. The sensor 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. at a 100 mA load and 0.4 V max. at 40 mA. A 4-pole connector provides electrical connection, and the optical signal is non-modulated.
Using a PBT case with polycarbonate emitter and receiver covers, the EE-SX672A operates from -25°C to 55°C and can be stored from -30°C to 80°C without freezing or condensation. Its stated vibration resistance covers 20 to 2,000 Hz with peak acceleration of 100 m/s² and 1.5 mm double amplitude during the specified test cycle. Shock resistance is 500 m/s² three times in each X, Y, and Z direction, while the enclosure carries an IP50 rating. The T-shaped profile, 7 mm slot center, NPN output, selectable switching logic, and 100 mA load capacity define this model within the EE-SX range. For a related PNP T-shaped version, refer to the Omron EE-SX672P.
