Hence, in spite of its 0.748 in adjustment. Further, the receiver of the miniature size, it has a performance thru-beam, side sensing type sensor and reliability which is equal to or incorporates an operation mode switch better than the conventional product. which can change the output operation. Q: The sensor incorporates a sensitivity adjuster in spite of its miniature size. It is convenient when you need fine adjustment. Further, the receiver of the thru-beam, side sensing type sensor incorporates an operation mode switch ## ~~I~~ **BASIC PERFORMANCE** ## **Long sensing range** The **EX-20** series achieves long distance sensing [thru-beam type: 2 m 6.562 ft, retroreflective type: 200 mm 7.874 in (when using the attached reflector), diffuse reflective type: 160 mm 6.299 in], despite its miniature size. Hence, it is usable even on a wide conveyor. **Thru-beam type** ~~r~~ **2 m 6.562 ft** ~~n~~ **Retroreflective type 200 mm 7.874 in Diffuse reflective type 160 mm 6.299 in** ~~—~~ ## **Clear beam spot using red LED dot light source** The emission area of a dot light source is smaller than that of a conventional LED flat light source, and it is possible to design a high power, narrow beam. Since a red LED dot light source is used, the red beam spot is clear even at a far place, so that alignment and confirmation of sensing position is easy. Further, since the thru-beam type, too, incorporates a visible narrow beam, it can also reliably detect small parts, such as, chip components, lead frames, etc. **==> picture [175 x 170] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> such as, chip components, lead frames, etc.<br>EX-28□<br>o e<br>Setting<br>distance:<br>80 mm<br>ø5 mm<br>EX-26□ ø0.197 in 3.150 in<br>spot<br>ø1 mmø0.039 in Setting<br>spot distance:<br>10 mm<br>0.394 in<br>|<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> Ultra-compact Photoelectric Sensor **EX-20 SERIES Ver.2** 3 ## ~~a~~ **APPLICATIONS** **Detecting presence of chip Checking protrusion of wafer components** **==> picture [139 x 9] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Sensing objects from an opening<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br> ## **BASIC PERFORMANCE** ~~es~~ = **Electric power saving** * The **EX-20** series achieves reductions in power consumption of up to 65 %.

Rust-resistant stainless steel sensor mounting brackets are available. Note: If water splashes on the sensor during sensing operation, it may sense water as an object. ## **Incorporated an inverter countermeasure circuit*** The **EX-20** series become significantly stronger against inverter light and other extraneous light. *Effective from production in April 2011. ## ~~a~~ **MOUNTING** ## **Identical size** Front sensing type of **Thru-beam type Diffuse reflective type** thru-beam type and diffuse reflective type sensors have identical appearance. Moreover, since the mounting holes are symmetrical with respect to the beam axis center, the design becomes easy. 10 mm 10 mm 0.394 in 0.394 in ## **Mounting section reinforced** It can be tightened with M3 screws.

Further, the sensing range is the possible setting range for the reflector. The sensor can detect an object less than 30 mm 1.181 in away. However, if the reflector is set 1.181 in away. However, if the reflector is set away. However, if the reflector is set 100 mm 3.937 in or less away, the sensing object should be opaque. - 5) In case of using this product at a sensing range of 50 mm 1.969 in or less, take care that the sensitivity adjustment range becomes extremely narrow. - 6) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.

About Novapart
Novapart is a B2B electronic component broker specialising in stock shortages and cost reduction. We source hard-to-find parts and identify compliant alternatives across a catalogue of 410,000+ components from 500+ manufacturers.
Learn more →Stock Shortage Specialist
When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.
Request a quote →Compliant Alternatives
We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
