FAQs
What is EE-SPX304-W2A?
The EE-SPX304-W2A is a reflective photomicrosensor with a sensing distance of 5mm, designed by Omron Corporation. It is commonly used in applications requiring detection of objects or changes in the presence of light, such as automated industrial equipment, vending machines, and consumer electronics.
How Does EE-SPX304-W2A Work?
The EE-SPX304-W2A operates by emitting infrared light and detecting the intensity of the reflected light from a nearby object. When an object enters the sensor's detection range, the reflected light changes, triggering the sensor output to indicate the presence or absence of the object. The sensor is designed for reliable and precise object detection in various operating conditions.
How Many Pins does EE-SPX304-W2A have and What are the Functions of the Pinout Configuration?
The EE-SPX304-W2A is housed in a 4-pin connector format. The pinout configuration includes:
- VCC: Power supply pin for the sensor.
- GND: Ground pin for the sensor.
- OUT: Output pin indicating the presence/absence of the detected object.
- NC: No connection pin.
What are the Pros and Cons of EE-SPX304-W2A?
Pros:
- Compact Size: The 4-pin connector format is space-efficient and suitable for compact designs.
