Product Overview
The Omron E3Z-D61 is Omron's compact 100 mm diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor in the E3Z family, the NPN-output sibling of the already-done E3Z-D82 (PNP). manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this sensor from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window and a datasheet PDF included in the box.
It uses an infrared LED (860 nm) emitter and a photodiode receiver in a small 20 × 11 × 31 mm cuboid housing, designed for short-range object detection where the sensor can be mounted close to the target. Typical applications: small-parts presence detection on a feeder bowl, label presence on a packaging line, cap-on-bottle detection on a bottling line, paper-edge detection on a printer, and conveyor-belt object counting.
For NPN-style PLCs (Japanese standard, where inputs sink current), the input unit's COM is wired to +24 VDC.
Key Features

- Output: NPN open-collector, 100 mA max load current
- SKU: E3Z-D61
- Series: E3Z Compact Photoelectric Sensor with Built-in Amplifier
- Voltage: 12 TO 24 VDC
Best-Fit Applications
- Small-parts presence detection on a vibratory feeder bowl — the E3Z-D61 detects whether the next part has been released from.
- Label presence detection on a packaging line — the E3Z-D61 detects the leading edge of a label on a label.
- Cap-on-bottle detection on a bottling line — the E3Z-D61 detects whether a bottle has a cap applied at the cap-torque.
Buying Checklist
- Pick E3Z-D82 for 1 m diffuse-reflective PNP — longer range with PNP output
- Pick E3Z-D66 for 100 mm diffuse-reflective NPN with M8 connector — quick-disconnect for modular tooling
- Pick E3Z-D86 for 100 mm diffuse-reflective PNP with M8 connector — PNP + M8 connector

FAQ for E3Z-D61
What's the difference between E3Z-D61 and E3Z-D62?
Both are diffuse-reflective NPN-output photoelectric sensors in the E3Z family with the same 20 × 11 × 31 mm cuboid housing and pre-wired 2 m cable. The difference is the sensing distance: D61 (this SKU) has 100 mm range (rated on white paper 100 × 100 mm), D62 has 1 m range.
How do I wire the E3Z-D61 to a CJ1W-ID211 input?
Wire the E3Z-D61's brown wire to +24 VDC supply, blue wire to 0 V (GND), and black wire to the CJ1W-ID211 input terminal. The CJ1W-ID211's COM terminal must be wired to +24 VDC (not to 0 V) to accept NPN sinking signals.
What's the difference between Dark-ON and Light-ON modes on the E3Z-D61?
Dark-ON mode (white wire left open or tied to +24 VDC): the sensor output is ON when no light is received from the target — i.e., when the target is absent. This is the fail-safe default for most industrial applications because a wire break in the sensor output or a power loss to the sensor results in the same 'no signal' state as a target absent.
Can the E3Z-D61 detect black or shiny metal targets?
The E3Z-D61's 100 mm sensing distance is rated on white paper 100 × 100 mm. For black paper targets (5-10% reflectivity), the detection distance drops to ~30-40 mm (30-40% of nominal) — the sensor can still detect black paper but only at 1/3 of the rated range. For polished metal targets (80-95% reflectivity), the detection distance increases to ~110-120 mm (110-120% of nominal) — the sensor detects polished metal slightly beyond the rated range.
