Omron E3T-FD12M 2M Ultracompact Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FD12M 2M is an ultrathin rectangular diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor for object sensing from 5 to 30 mm. Its red LED directs light toward the target, while the built-in amplifier processes the returned optical signal and the NPN output supplies the switching state to compatible machine-control circuitry. Dark-ON operation defines the specified logic, and operate or reset time is 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 20 mA, and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Its compact M-type format supports installation where mounting area is limited. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FD12M 2M provides the Dark-ON M-type configuration. Related short-distance photoelectric sensors are available across Omron Sensing Range.

The Omron E3T-FD12M 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing across a 5 to 30 mm range in an ultrathin rectangular M-type body. A red LED directs optical light toward the target, while the built-in amplifier processes the returned light to establish the switching state. The NPN output interfaces with compatible industrial control circuits, and Dark-ON operation defines the specified output behavior. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and consumes up to 20 mA. Operate or reset time is specified at 1 ms max. A 2 m pre-wired cable provides direct electrical connection, while the small sensor body supports mounting in restricted areas of compact machinery and component-handling equipment.
For an Omron Dark ON diffuse reflective sensor requiring NPN output and a short 5 to 30 mm sensing range, the relevant model is the E3T-FD12M. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing and denatured polyarylate for the optical section. IP67 protection is specified, while approximate sensor weight is 20 g. Its configuration also suits searches for an Omron M type NPN sensor and Omron ultrathin photoelectric sensor. The 1 ms response supports small-component sensing and position confirmation where mounting space is restricted. For the corresponding M-type Light-ON version using the same sensing range and 2 m pre-wired connection, see E3T-FD11M 2M.
