Omron E3FA-DP26 Photoelectric Sensor

The Omron E3FA-DP26 Photoelectric Sensor from Omron Corporation is a diffuse-reflective sensor designed for accurate object detection in industrial automation systems. It offers a 1 m sensing distance using an infrared LED light source and supports a 10 to 30 VDC power supply. This model features a PNP open collector output with Light-ON/Dark-ON selection and connects via an M12 4-pin connector. Built from durable plastic materials, it belongs to the Omron E3FA Series, providing stable performance under IP67 and IP69K protection standards in industrial environments.

Used widely across automation processes, the E3FA-DP26 helps ensure accurate detection on conveyors, packaging lines, and assembly machines. Its quick 0.5 ms response time supports high-speed operations, preventing product miscounts or process delays. The single-turn sensitivity adjuster allows easy calibration during setup. With strong resistance to dust, vibration, and water ingress, it delivers dependable results for production, quality inspection, and positioning applications in diverse factory environments.

The Omron E3FA-DP26 Photoelectric Sensor ensures reliable detection with a compact cylindrical body and easy connection system. For engineers requiring an NPN output version, the Omron E3FA-DN26 Photoelectric Sensor offers identical sensing performance with a different transistor configuration. Those preferring a pre-wired option instead of an M12 connector can choose the Omron E3FA-DP16 2M Photoelectric Sensor featuring a fixed 2 m cable. Alternatively, for reflective-type applications with longer detection distance, the Omron E3FA-RP21 Photoelectric Sensor provides a retro-reflective sensing range up to 4 m using a red LED and the E39-R1S reflector, while maintaining the same PNP output structure. The Omron E3FA-DP26 therefore fits best where diffuse detection within 1 m is required without reflectors.

The Omron E3FA-DP26 Photoelectric Sensor combines fast detection, compact design, and solid build quality, meeting the needs of modern industrial setups. Its infrared LED emitter and PNP output type ensure consistent switching response under varying light conditions. The robust plastic housing, M12 connector interface, and IP69K-rated sealing make it reliable even in washdown zones. Designed under the proven Omron E3FA Series architecture, this model reflects Omron’s reputation for durable, high-performance sensors trusted by automation professionals across India.
