Omron EE-SX471 is an L-shaped 5 mm slot NPN photomicrosensor with Light-ON output, 940 nm infrared source and IP50 rating.
The Omron EE-SX471 is the L-shaped 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.

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.
A small opaque component can be checked as it passes through a fixed sensing gap.
The 5 mm slot and 2 × 0.8 mm minimum opaque target specification support evaluation for non-contact passage detection.
A moving tab or flag may interrupt an optical path to indicate a machine state.
Selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON NPN output can be wired to compatible logic after checking geometry, speed and switching margin.
