Omron E3T-SL21M 2M M3 Limited-reflective Photoelectric Sensor

BrandOmron
Model IdentifierE3T-SL21M 2M
Official Part NumberE3T-SL21M 2M

Technical Overview

The Omron E3T-SL21M 2M is an ultracompact limited-reflective photoelectric sensor with M3 mounting and a 2 m pre-wired cable. It detects a 50 × 50 mm white-paper target at 5 to 30 mm and uses a 650 nm red LED with an NPN open-collector Light-ON output. The sensor supports 12 to 24 VDC operation, responds within 1 ms and is rated IP67. Omron listed the exact model as selling and standard-stock on 2026-05-22; that record did not give current inventory.

Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. M3-mounted close-proximity part detection

A 5 to 30 mm limited-reflective range can suit a target positioned near the sensor face.

Potential use

Use the 50 × 50 mm white-paper reference range as a selection baseline and validate actual target performance at the installed distance.

M3 mounting Limited-reflective 5 to 30 mm

2. Small target detection in a compact assembly

Omron specifies a 0.15 mm minimum sensing-object diameter at a 10 mm sensing distance.

Potential use

Check the real target material, shape and alignment at the required sensing point before fixing the sensor in place.
