Omron EE-SX470 is a standard 5 mm slot NPN photomicrosensor with Light-ON output, 940 nm infrared source and IP50 rating.
The Omron EE-SX470 is the standard connector model in the EE-SX47/67 slot photomicrosensor family, configured for Light-ON operation. It uses a 940 nm infrared LED across a 5 mm slot and provides an NPN open-collector output from 5–24 VDC. Omron specifies IP50 and a minimum 1 kHz response frequency; current supply status is recorded as Unknown.
