Slot sensor for position and interlock duty
The EE-SX970P-C1: Through-beam slot sensor with a 0.02 mm gap, 30 V supply, and 4 ms response. Operates from -25°C to 85°C.
Mounting and wiring constraints
Chassis mount with M3 screws — the 0.02 mm gap means the bracket and flag must register within that tolerance. A bent bracket or loose screw shifts the beam and causes nuisance trips. The switching current is 0.05 A, so the output drives a PLC input directly but not a relay coil without a buffer. Bulk packaging; no connector — expect flying leads that need a terminal block or splice.
