Product details

The Omron EE-SX670 is a through-beam slot-type optical sensor with a 5 mm sensing gap. It switches an NPN open-collector output at 5 V supply, making it a direct-fit part for flag detection, edge counting, or home-position sensing inside machinery enclosures where the ambient temperature stays between -25°C and 55°C. The 1 ms response time handles moderate-speed object pass-through but won't catch fast encoder edges.

Chassis-mount package with a 5 mm slot — bolt it to a bracket or plate with the flag passing through the gap. The NPN open-collector output needs a pull-up resistor to the MCU or PLC input rail; 5 V supply is fixed, so no wide-range regulator needed. The 1 ms response means the output pulse width is at least 1 ms for a flag moving through the slot — factor that into your controller scan cycle or interrupt latency. Keep the wiring short and shielded if running more than a meter to avoid noise coupling into the collector line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the output type of EE-SX670?

NPN open-collector — the output transistor sinks current to ground when the beam is interrupted. You need a pull-up resistor to the logic supply (typically 5 V or 3.3 V) to get a clean high/low signal for a microcontroller or PLC input.

What is the supply voltage of EE-SX670?

5 V DC, fixed. No wide-range input — the sensor expects a regulated 5 V rail. Running it on 3.3 V or 12 V without a regulator will either not switch or damage the part.

What is the closest functional equivalent to EE-SX670?

The EE-SPX613 is a through-beam slot sensor with a similar chassis-mount form factor and 6 mm slot, but it offers selectable Dark-ON/Light-ON output logic, giving more wiring flexibility. The EE-SX670 is fixed-output and has a 5 mm slot — choose based on whether you need the logic-select feature.
