The Omron EE-SX974P-C1 is a close-mounting slot-type photomicrosensor built for accurate and compact object detection. With a 5 mm slot width and connector-type interface, it is ideal for high-density mounting in automated environments where space is limited.
This sensor supports both Light-ON and Dark-ON modes with two independent PNP open collector outputs. It offers a current consumption of just 21 mA and handles up to 50 mA load current. A bright orange LED indicator ensures visual confirmation of sensor activity, enhancing usability and diagnostics.
Constructed from PBT and PC materials, the EE-SX974P-C1 is resistant to vibration and shock, and rated IP50 for basic environmental protection. It operates reliably in ambient temperatures ranging from -25Β°C to 55Β°C. Common applications include PCB equipment, assembly automation, and small component detection where dual-output precision is required.
