Omron EE-SX676P Photomicrosensor
Omron EE-SX676P is an F-shaped through-beam slot photomicrosensor with a fixed 5 mm sensing gap and a PNP output for compatible control circuitry. Its infrared LED creates the internal optical path across the slot, while the output condition changes as a target moves through the sensing opening. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to 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, while load short-circuit protection supports the output circuit. Within the EE Series, the EE-SX676P provides PNP sensing within the 5 mm slot photomicrosensor range available through Omron sensing technology.

The Omron EE-SX676P Photomicrosensor uses an F-shaped through-beam arrangement with a fixed 5 mm slot and a PNP output. An infrared LED creates the internal optical path between the emitter and receiver, allowing the output state to change as a target moves through the sensing opening. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control sequence. The sensor operates from 5 to 24 VDC and consumes 12 mA maximum. A 4-pole connector provides the electrical connection, while load short-circuit protection supports the output circuit. Ambient fluorescent-light resistance is specified up to 1,000 lx at the receiver surface, providing a defined operating condition for the optical arrangement.
The EE-SX676P uses a PBT body and is specified for an operating temperature range of -25°C to 55°C. Storage temperature extends from -30°C to 80°C, while operating humidity is listed from 5% to 85%. The mechanical ratings include vibration from 20 to 2,000 Hz under the specified test procedure and shock resistance of 500 m/s² in each axis. The enclosure is rated IP50. Its key distinction within the F-shaped options is the PNP output, making it relevant where the connected control input requires PNP switching. For an F-shaped connector model using an NPN output instead, refer to the Omron EE-SX676.
