The Omron EE-SX970-C1 is a compact slot-type photomicrosensor featuring a 5 mm grooved slot and standard-shaped body. It includes a connector-type wiring system and is ideal for use in automated machinery where easy disconnection and secure wiring are required.
This model offers dual NPN outputs for both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes, enabling flexible integration depending on the detection logic needed. The sensor provides a low residual voltage of 0.4 V at 5 mA and includes an orange LED for visual indication of operation. It supports up to 50 mA load current with minimal power consumption of just 21 mA.
Built from high-durability PBT and PC materials, the EE-SX970-C1 is rated IP50 and operates in temperatures from -25Β°C to 55Β°C. It is widely used for part detection, slot counting, and position sensing in tight industrial spaces.
