Product Overview
The Omron EE-SX677-WR is a slot-type photomicrosensor in the EE-SX67 series: a U-shaped emitter and receiver molded into a small black PBT body with a 5 mm slot between them. manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
Any opaque flag, tab, or part at least 2 x 0.8 mm that passes through the slot breaks the beam and triggers the output. It is the right pick when the moving part is small, the installation has to fit in a tight panel, and the controller side wants a clean ON / OFF pulse instead of an analog reading.
For an IP67 slot microsensor in the same 5 mm class, look at the EE-SX95 family instead.

Buying Checklist
- Choose EE-SX677P-WR 1M for a PNP (sourcing) output instead of NPN.
- Choose EE-SX676-WR for an F-shape top-mount flat body in the same family.
- Choose EE-SX674-WR for the same family with a different body shape (close-mount T-tab).

FAQ for EE-SX677-WR
What does the -WR suffix mean?
The -WR suffix on any EE-SX67 sensor marks it as a pre-wired lead-out version with a 1 m oil-resistant cable, rather than the connector version that uses a separate EE-1001 / EE-1006 harness. So EE-SX677 base = connector, EE-SX677-WR = pre-wired cable. Same sensor, different cable exit.
What is the difference between EE-SX674-WR and EE-SX677-WR?
Both are pre-wired 5 mm NPN cable sensors in the EE-SX67 family. The difference is the body shape: EE-SX674-WR is the close-mount body with the mounting tabs at the standard top position; the EE-SX677 is the R-type with the mounting tab configured for a right-side cable exit. Pick the body that matches the panel cutout and cable-routing direction — the electrical specs are otherwise the same.
Can this sensor detect a transparent object?
No. The EE-SX677-WR is a through-beam slot sensor that needs an opaque target to break the beam. For thin transparent film or clear-glass detection, look at a retro-reflective sensor with a polarized MSR filter (like the E3Z-R61 family) or a through-beam sensor specifically tuned for thin films.
How do I switch between Light-ON and Dark-ON?
The L (mode) terminal controls the operating mode. Leave it open or floating for Dark-ON (output ON when the beam is broken). Short the L terminal to the +V supply to switch to Light-ON (output ON when the beam is clear). Confirm the connection before powering up the first time.
