The Omron E3ZG62M3JOMS is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with a 25 mm sensing distance, rated for 12–24 VDC supply and a load current of 100 mA. The NPN output (dark-on/light-on selectable) sinks current to the common, so it mates with sinking PLC inputs or relay coils; if your control system expects a sourcing (PNP) signal, the E3ZG81M3JOMS or E3ZG82M3JOMS serve the same role with PNP output. Response time sits at 1 ms, which covers most moderate-speed part-present detection. The housing footprint is compact: 11 mm wide, 40 mm high, 50 mm deep — a standard E3Z-series profile that fits into tight panel gaps or alongside existing brackets. The M8 4-pin connector simplifies wiring; no need to open the housing, just plug and tighten. IP64 rating means the sensor is protected against dust ingress and splashing water from any direction. It is not rated for submersion or high-pressure washdown, so keep that in mind for the mounting location.

Frequently asked questions
What is the width of the E3ZG62M3JOMS?
The sensor housing is 11 mm wide, which is typical for the E3Z series and fits into compact mounting spaces.
What is the height of the E3ZG62M3JOMS?
The sensor housing height is 40 mm.
Will the E3ZG62M3JOMS drop into a panel originally specified for the E3ZG61M3JOMS without rewiring?
The electrical and optical specifications are identical, including output type, sensing distance, and connector. However, the G62 versus G61 suffix may indicate a difference in connector orientation or bracket compatibility not listed in the standard specs. Check the physical fit against your bracket and connector alignment before assuming a drop-in replacement.
What is the difference between this NPN sensor and the PNP version?
The NPN output (E3ZG62M3JOMS) sinks current; the PNP outputs (E3ZG81M3JOMS or E3ZG82M3JOMS) source current. All other ratings are the same. Choose based on whether your control input expects a sinking or sourcing signal.
