The OMRON EE-SX398 is a transmissive photo interrupter designed for precise detection and sensing applications. It features a built-in IC chip with a detector element and amplifier, offering a high-resolution capability with a 0.5mm wide aperture and a 3mm gap width. The device is well-suited for use in industrial settings, where accurate and reliable sensing is crucial. It is a Dark ON model, which means it outputs a signal when the light path is blocked.

Features:

• Built-in temperature compensation circuit
• Direct compatibility with C-MOS and TTL
• High resolution with a 0.5mm wide aperture
• Dark ON operation mode

Specifications:

• Sensor Output Type: Photo/Optical IC
• Sensor Mounting: Through Hole
• Gap Width: 3mm
