Omron Electronic Components EE-SX1: Photomicrosensors accurately detect motion and position

Available in a fixed U-shaped housing carrying emitter and detector provides the nonamplified EE-SX1 slotted phototransistor series with accurate alignment and aiming. Able to detect the presence of an object without direct contact, these slotted, microminiature, transmissive photomicrosensors accurately detect motion and position. Measuring 3×3×3.4-mm with slots measuring 1 to 5 mm, the device provides high resolution through a 0.15- to 0.5-mm aperture width. The EE-SX1 is available in SMD, through-hole PCB, and panel-mount with connector mounting styles, and prices range from 50 cents to $1.10 (10,000).
