The OMRON E3Z-D61 is a diffuse photoelectric sensor from the E3Z series with a maximum sensing distance of 100 mm, NPN output, and IP67 rating. It operates on 12-24V DC, draws up to 100 mA load current, and responds in 1 msec. The wide-beam infrared LED (Emitted Sensor Light: Infrared) simplifies alignment on reflective or irregular targets. Selectable Light-On/Dark-On switching via the internal DIP gives flexibility for material-present or gap-detection logic.
The E3Z-D62 is the closest sibling: same housing, cable, power, NPN output, and IP67, but its sensing distance extends to 1 m instead of 100 mm. It is physically interchangeable but not a direct functional swap for short-range applications.
It is part of the OMRON E3Z series of photoelectric sensors.
The E3Z-D61 uses a wide-beam infrared LED emitter, which produces a broader detection spot than a standard focused beam. This reduces alignment effort and improves detection on uneven or angled surfaces.
Yes, the mechanical footprint, cable length, supply voltage, and wiring colors are identical between the two. The only operational change is the reduced sensing range (100 mm vs 1 m); confirm that the shorter distance still meets your application's detection requirement.
