EE-SPY312

Overview of Omron EE-SPY312

The Omron EE-SPY312 is a vertical-type convergent reflective photomicrosensor designed for precise sensing within a short range of 2 to 5 mm. It features a dark-ON output mode with NPN transistor output and includes a red LED indicator for operation status. The sensor operates on a 5 to 24 V DC power supply with low current consumption and is suitable for detecting small objects with high accuracy in industrial environments.
