E3Z-D61

Product information

Product Overview

The E3Z-D61 is an Omron E3Z compact photoelectric sensor with a built-in amplifier: 10.8 mm wide cuboid body, diffuse reflective sensing at 100 mm, NPN output, infrared light, IP67 and a 2 m pre-wired cable.

This page is written for buyers and maintenance engineers sourcing E3Z-D61 as a new part or a replacement. Every specification below is taken from Omron’s own published catalogue data for this model; no third-party or estimated figures are used, and where Omron publishes two different figures for the same parameter, both are shown.

Omron catalogue position: Sensing › Photoelectric Sensors › E3Z. Official catalogue code for this model: E3Z-D61-2M.

Why Buyers Specify This Model

10.8 mm wide — the reason the E3Z exists

A 10.8 mm × 31 mm × 20 mm cuboid with built-in amplifier, designed for tight installation spaces alongside other sensors or on small handling mechanisms where a cylindrical M18 body will not fit.

Infrared diffuse sensing at 100 mm, 1 ms response

Diffuse reflective sensing at 100 mm using infrared light, with NPN output, dark-ON / light-ON selection and a 1 ms response time.

Mutual interference prevention and wide beam

Omron’s catalogue lists mutual interference prevention and a wide beam as features of this model — relevant when several sensors sit side by side on the same line.

Six official mounting options

Omron lists E39-L104, L142, L144, L153, L43 and L98 mounting brackets and protective covers for this sensor, covering vertical, side, L-shape and pre-wired mounting as well as protective metal covers.

Lifecycle & Availability

Omron’s official product data for this model carries no end-of-production or discontinuation notice — it is listed as a current catalogue item. That is the lifecycle status as published by Omron, not a stock statement on our side.

Availability, condition of supply and lead time are quoted per enquiry because they depend on quantity and on where the goods are held. Tell us the quantity and the date you need it and we will answer with a firm position rather than a promise.

Matching Accessories and Spare Parts

The list below is Omron’s own accessory and spare-part association for this model — the parts Omron itself couples to it for commissioning and for maintenance. Buying them together avoids the usual problem of a spare unit arriving without the bracket, key or battery needed to run it.

Associated accessories

Part	Official description
E39-L104	Mounting bracket for E3Z sensor, standard, vertical mounting
E39-L142	Mounting Bracket, protective side wall (for E3Z)
E39-L144	Sensor mounting Bracket, Protective bracket for E3Z pre-wired
E39-L153	Mounting bracket for E3Z sensor, L shape, for prewired
E39-L43	Mounting bracket for E3Z sensor, side mounting
E39-L98	Protective metal cover for E3S-A/E3Z vertical sensor

Ordering This Part

Send us the full catalogue number E3Z-D61, the quantity, your delivery address and the date you need the goods. If the part is a replacement, attach a photograph of the existing unit’s nameplate — it removes any doubt about the revision, the output type or the supply voltage, which are the three things that most often cause a wrong part to be shipped.

We do not publish stock, condition or lead time as fixed figures here, because they change: they are quoted per enquiry against the quantity and date you actually need. If a machine is down, say so and give us the required window — that is the information that determines how we source it.

Frequently Asked Questions

E3Z-D61 or E3Z-D62?

The output type and the light source differ across the E3Z-D6x range. This model is NPN with infrared light; the PNP equivalent is a different catalogue number in the same family. Match your PLC input type before selecting.

Will adjacent sensors interfere?

This model includes mutual interference prevention, so side-by-side mounting is supported. Even so, keep the specified minimum separation and alternate the light-ON/dark-ON configuration where the layout permits.

Where is the E3Z positioned now?

The E3Z remains a current Omron range and is also the reference sensor used in Omron’s IO-Link connection guides. Omron’s catalogue data for this model carries no discontinuation notice.

What cable version is this?

Omron’s catalogue lists it as E3Z-D61-2M — a 2 m pre-wired cable. Confirm against your installation so we quote the correct number.
