Omron E3T-SL12 2M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-SL12 2M is an ultrathin limited-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for short-range object sensing from 5 to 15 mm. Its red LED directs light toward the target, while the built-in amplifier processes the returned sensing signal. An NPN output supplies the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and control circuitry, and Dark-ON operation defines the specified output behavior. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 20 mA, and includes a 2 m pre-wired cable. Response time is specified at 1 ms max. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-SL12 2M provides the Dark-ON NPN configuration. Related short-distance reflective sensors can be reviewed across Omron Industrial Products.

The Omron E3T-SL12 2M Photoelectric Sensor uses limited-reflective sensing across a short 5 to 15 mm range in an ultracompact square body. Its red LED directs light toward the target, while the built-in amplifier processes the returned optical signal. The NPN output communicates the switching state to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry, while Dark-ON operation defines the specified logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and consumes up to 20 mA. Operate or reset time is 1 ms max., and a 2 m pre-wired cable provides direct electrical connection. The short working range supports close-position sensing where available mounting area is limited.
For an Omron Dark ON limited reflective sensor requiring NPN output and 5 to 15 mm sensing, the relevant model is the E3T-SL12. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing, while denatured polyarylate is specified for the optical section. IP67 protection and an approximate weight of 20 g are stated. Its specification also matches searches for an Omron short range NPN sensor and Omron 15 mm photoelectric sensor. The 1 ms response supports close-range part presence and position confirmation in compact automated equipment. For the related Light-ON NPN version with the same sensing range and cable length, see E3T-SL11 2M.
