The Omron EE-SPX403N is a through-beam photomicrosensor in a standard plastic housing with a fixed 13 mm slot width. It uses an infrared LED and outputs NPN (Light-ON) via a connector, running on 12 to 24 VDC. If your BOM calls for a sinking sensor in a tight slot detection spot, this one fits without fuss.

Frequently asked questions
What is the output type of the EE-SPX403N?
It has a NPN output, Light-ON operation.
Will the E3ZM-CT87B work as a direct replacement for the EE-SPX403N?
No. The E3ZM-CT87B has a PNP output (not NPN), a 20 m sensing range (not 13 mm), and a stainless steel body with IP69K – it's a heavy-duty photoelectric sensor, not a slot sensor. The physical form factor and electrical interface are different.
