Omron E3C-S10 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3C-S10 2M is a compact through-beam photoelectric sensor using separate E3C-S10L emitter and E3C-S10D receiver heads across a 100 mm sensing distance. A 950 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path between the two sensing heads, while an opaque target with a minimum diameter of 2 mm can interrupt the transmitted light. Both heads are supplied with pre-wired 2 m cables, allowing them to be mounted opposite each other within compact equipment. The short sensing span supports small-machine applications where limited mounting distance is available. Within the E3C Series, the E3C-S10 2M provides the 100 mm through-beam format. For compact equipment where emitter and receiver spacing is limited, compact through-beam sensors provide suitable options across Omron Industrial Sensor Products.

The Omron E3C-S10 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses a through-beam arrangement with separate E3C-S10L emitter and E3C-S10D receiver sensing heads. A 950 nm infrared LED establishes a fixed optical path across a 100 mm sensing distance, and an opaque target with a minimum diameter of 2 mm can interrupt the beam. Both heads use pre-wired 2 m cables for machine connection, allowing independent mounting on opposite sides of the sensing point. Ambient-light resistance reaches 3,000 lx under incandescent illumination and 10,000 lx under sunlight. The short optical span and specified minimum target size make this model relevant for compact equipment where small parts pass through a controlled sensing line. Its through-beam arrangement does not rely on reflected light from the target surface.
For an Omron through-beam photoelectric sensor requiring a compact 100 mm sensing span, separate emitter and receiver heads, and pre-wired cables, the specified model is the E3C-S10. Operating and storage temperatures cover -25 to 70°C under the stated conditions, with polycarbonate listed as the housing material. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron compact through-beam sensor, Omron 100 mm photoelectric sensor, and Omron small object sensor. For an E3C through-beam model with a longer 500 mm sensing distance and a similar separate-head arrangement, see E3C-S50 2M.
