BrandOmron
Model IdentifierEE-SX670A
Official Part NumberEE-SX670A

Technical Overview

The Omron EE-SX670A is the standard connector version of the EE-SX47/67 slot photomicrosensor, with an operation indicator that lights when the beam is interrupted. It uses a 940 nm infrared LED across a 5 mm slot and has selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON NPN output from 5–24 VDC. Omron specifies IP50 and a minimum 1 kHz response frequency; current supply status is recorded as Unknown.

A 5 mm slot NPN photomicrosensor with interrupted-beam indicator and selectable output logic.

Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. Part passage confirmation

A small opaque component can be checked as it passes through a fixed sensing gap.

Potential use

The 5 mm slot and 2 × 0.8 mm minimum opaque target specification support evaluation for non-contact passage detection.

5 mm slot NPN 940 nm IR IP50

2. Mechanism position detection

A moving tab or flag may interrupt an optical path to indicate a machine state.

Potential use

Selectable Light-ON/Dark-ON NPN output can be wired to compatible logic after checking geometry, speed and switching margin.
