Omron E3Z-D86 Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-D86 is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for direct object sensing across a 100 mm distance. Its 870 nm infrared LED directs light toward the target, while the returned optical signal is evaluated without requiring a separate reflector. The PNP output supports compatible machine-control circuitry, while selectable Light-ON and Dark-ON operation allows the switching logic to suit different requirements. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a standard M8 connector for detachable electrical integration. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-D86 provides an M8-connected PNP option for short-range diffuse sensors across the Omron Sensor Range.

The Omron E3Z-D86 Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing for direct object sensing across a 100 mm distance. Its 870 nm infrared LED sends light toward the target, while the returned optical signal establishes the switching state without requiring a reflector. The PNP output supports a maximum load current of 100 mA and a load supply voltage up to 26.4 VDC. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a standard M8 connector for detachable integration. Current consumption is specified at 30 mA maximum, response time at 1 ms maximum, and a one-turn adjuster supports sensitivity setting.
For an Omron compact diffuse sensor requiring PNP output and an M8 connector, the relevant model is the E3Z-D86. Ambient-light resistance reaches 3,000 lx under incandescent light and 10,000 lx under sunlight. Operating temperature extends from -25 to 55°C, while storage covers -40 to 70°C without icing or condensation. Reverse supply polarity, output short-circuit, mutual-interference, and reversed-output polarity protection are included. PBT and methacrylic resin are listed as construction materials. The specification also fits searches for an Omron 100 mm PNP sensor and Omron M8 diffuse photoelectric sensor. The connector format supports easier disconnection from machine wiring during servicing. For a longer-range PNP M8 version with a 1 m sensing distance, see the E3Z-D87.
