The Omron EE-SX671 is a through-beam photomicrosensor with a 5 mm slot, intended for edge detection, position sensing, and object presence in automation and light industrial equipment. It operates from a 5 V supply and switches up to 12 mA through an NPN open-collector output, with a 1 ms response time. The chassis-mount bulk package suits panel or machine-frame installation where a compact slot sensor is needed.
5 mm slot and 1 ms response — fit for moderate-speed detection
The 5 mm sensing slot (0.197 in) limits flag thickness and alignment tolerance. The 1 ms response handles moderate-speed edge counting or part-present signals.
Active lifecycle — no obsolescence pressure
The EE-SX671 carries an active lifecycle status. No last-time-buy or end-of-life notice is on record. Store the bulk-packaged units in a dry, ambient environment.
