5 mm gap, PNP output — what the slot sensor tells you
The EESX951PR1M is a transmissive (slot-type) photomicrosensor from Omron's EE-SX95 series, meaning the emitter and receiver face each other across a fixed 5 mm gap — the beam breaks when an opaque object passes through. Output is PNP with selectable Light-ON or Dark-ON logic, so it can be wired to pull the load high when the beam is uninterrupted or when it is blocked — useful for both presence and absence detection in a single sensor head. Rated load current is 50 mA — enough to drive a small PLC input or a relay coil directly, but not a contactor or solenoid without an interposing relay. Supply range is 5 to 24 VDC, so it runs on common control voltages without a separate regulator.
IP50 and pre-wired — where it belongs
IP50 means the housing is dust-protected but not sealed against moisture — this sensor is for dry indoor cabinets, not washdown or outdoor zones. Pre-wired termination saves panel space and eliminates the need for a separate connector — the cable exits the sensor body and lands directly on a terminal block or PLC card.
