The 100 mm range is the working envelope where the receiver detects returned light from the target itself — no reflector is required, which simplifies mounting on conveyors, small-parts feeders, and box-presence checks where the opposite side of the machine is inaccessible. Response time is 1.0 ms maximum and hysteresis is 20% max. of sensing distance — at 100 mm that hysteresis band is up to 20 mm, so the sensor is sized for part-presence and rough-counting duty rather than precision edge detection; downstream filtering should be set wider than 20 ms to ride through the hysteresis transition cleanly. ## Output stage, supply envelope, and wiring The control output is an open-collector transistor stage rated 100 mA max. with 1 V max. residual voltage at 100 mA, protected against output short-circuit and DC supply reverse polarity. That makes the sensor drop-in compatible with a standard 24 VDC PLC sourcing-input card; the 100 mA ceiling covers most relay coils and small solenoids directly without an interposing relay. Power supply voltage is 12 to 24 VDC ±10% with 25 mA max. current consumption, ripple (p-p) 10% max. — the same rail that powers a 24 VDC control cabinet, with headroom to absorb the 10% switch-mode ripple. The unit ships pre-wired with a 2 m lead, so field termination is to a gland or junction box, not an M12 connector on this code. ## Form factor and panel-side fit Body dimensions are 6.5 x 2.2 x 2.4 cm in the threaded cylindrical housing, which keeps the through-hole and mounting-nut footprint compatible with the M18-style threaded-barrel format common on packaging, materials-handling, and small-assembly lines. The pre-wired 2 m lead terminates inside the local junction box rather than at an M12 quick-disconnect, which is the right choice where the sensor is mounted once and not cycled. ## Lifecycle and sourcing posture The part's lifecycle stage is recorded as current, meaning it is still on the manufacturer's active catalogue. For contract-manufacturing and tendered-framework buyers who need traceable paperwork, sourcing through independent distribution per RFQ keeps the BOM line defensible against audit challenge; pricing and lot availability are confirmed at quote time rather than read off a live shelf counter.","metaTitle":"Omron E3F3-D31 2M Photoelectric Sensor, 100 mm, 1 ms","metaDescription":"Omron E3F3-D31 2M threaded cylindrical diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor, 100 mm sensing range, 1.0 ms response, 12-24 VDC.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Photoelectric Sensors"],"specifications":{"title":"E3F3-D31 2M","Dimensions":"6.5 x 2.2 x 2.4 cm","Hysteresis":"20% max. of sensing distance","description":"OMRON E3F3-D31 2M Threaded Cylindrical Photoelectric Sensor * SAME DAY DELIVERY - 1 UNIT ONLY*","Response time":"1.0 ms max.","Control output":"Open collector transistor output, 100 mA max., residual voltage: 1 V max. at 100 mA","Shipping Weight":"1.2 Kg","lifecycle_stage":"current","Sensing distance":"100 mm","Connection method":"Pre-wired (standard length: 2 m)/M12 connector","Protective circuit":"Output short-circuit protection, DC power supply reverse polarity protection","Current consumption":"25 mA max.","Power supply voltage":"12 to 24 VDC±10%, ripple (p-p): 10% max.","Standard sensing object":"100 × 100 mm white mat paper","Light source (wavelength)":"Infrared LED (860 mm)"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$21.00","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/48b47ec3e3dc496635d77b8c256d065c.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Is E3F3-D31 2M a drop-in replacement for an E3Z-LL61 in the same panel?","answer":"No — they are different sensing methods in the same family. E3Z-LL61 is a distance-settable (BGS) sensor with a 20 to 300 mm range on white paper and 40 to 300 mm set-distance range, while E3F3-D31 2M is diffuse-reflective at 100 mm with a 20% hysteresis band.
