The **EE-1010-R 2M** is a high-quality connector cable assembly manufactured by **Omron**. It is specifically designed for use with Omron’s range of photomicrosensors (optical switches). --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The "2M" in the model name indicates the cable length. Below are the primary electronic and physical specifications: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Omron | | **Series** | EE-1010 | | **Cable Length** | 2 Meters (approx. 6.5 feet) | | **Number of Conductors** | 4-wire (Standard for NPN/PNP output sensors) | | **Connector Type** | Specific pressure-welded connector for photomicrosensors | | **Outer Diameter** | Approx. 4.0 mm | | **Wire Gauge** | 24 - 26 AWG (Typical for signal wiring) | --- ### 2. Connector Wiring Configuration The cable typically utilizes a color-coded 4-wire system to interface with the sensor's internal electronics (Emitter and Detector). | Color | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Brown** | Vcc / (+) | Positive power supply (typically 5-24V DC) | | **Blue** | GND / (-) | Ground / Common | | **Black** | Output 1 | Control Output (Light-ON or Dark-ON) | | **White** | Output 2 / Control | L/D Control or secondary output | --- ### 3. Key Electronic Features * **Vibration Resistance:** The connector features a locking mechanism (built-in friction) to prevent accidental disconnection in industrial machinery. * **Flexible Jacket:** The cable uses a PVC or PUR jacket designed for high flexibility, making it suitable for applications involving moving parts or robotic arms. * **Pre-terminated Connector:** The sensor-side end is pre-wired with a specialized socket, eliminating the need for soldering directly onto the sensor pins, which prevents heat damage to the sensitive optical components. --- ### 4. Compatible Sensors This cable is commonly used with the following Omron photomicrosensor series: * **EE-SX67 Series** (e.g., EE-SX670, EE-SX671) * **EE-SY67 Series** * **EE-SPX Series** ### 5. Application Usage The EE-1010-R 2M acts as the bridge between the **sensing head** (which detects objects via light interruption) and the **PLC (Programmable Logic Controller)** or Microcontroller. It is widely used in: 1. **Limit Switching:** Detecting the end of travel for a linear slide. 2. **Object Counting:** Monitoring items on a conveyor belt. 3. **Positioning:** Indexing rotary tables.
