Omron E3T-SR42 2M Retro-reflective Photoelectric Sensor

BrandOmron
Model IdentifierE3T-SR42 2M
Official Part NumberE3T-SR42 2M

Technical Overview

The Omron E3T-SR42 2M is an ultracompact retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with a 2 m pre-wired cable, M2 mounting and the E39-R4 reflector included. With that reflector, the specified sensing distance is 30 to 200 mm; the sensor uses a 650 nm red LED and an NPN open-collector Dark-ON output. It has an IP67 enclosure rating and a 1 ms maximum response time. Omron listed this exact model as selling and standard-stock on 2026-10-05, with a △ stock indicator.

A compact retro-reflective sensor with an included reflector for detecting opaque objects.

Suggested applications

Engineering suggestions require suitability checks for your installation.

1. Opaque part presence detection

A part passing between the sensor and its reflector interrupts the returned light.

Potential use

Install the included E39-R4 reflector within the specified 30 to 200 mm sensing distance and check detection with the actual target.

Retro-reflective Opaque target E39-R4

2. Compact conveyor detection point

The small M2-mount sensor can monitor an object path where a separate reflector can be fitted opposite the sensor.

Potential use

Set the reflector alignment and sensor position within the published range, then verify the target response and installation conditions.
