Omron E3FA-TN12 2M is a long-range through-beam photoelectric sensor designed for detecting opaque objects up to 15 meters. Manufactured by Omron, this sensor includes both emitter and receiver units (E3FA-TN12-L 2M and E3FA-TN12-D 2M) connected with pre-wired 2-meter cables. It uses an infrared LED light source and supports NPN output with Light-ON/Dark-ON operation modes. With a rapid response time of 0.5 milliseconds and power consumption of 40 mA max, the E3FA-TN12 2M sensor delivers accurate performance in high-speed industrial applications.
The cylindrical axial body with M18 threading and 41 mm length ensures easy installation into standard brackets and panels. It is constructed using durable ABS material and carries an IP67/IP69K protection rating, allowing it to withstand exposure to dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning. This makes Omron E3FA-TN12 2M suitable for automated packaging lines, logistic conveyors, and long-distance detection setups in challenging environments. The one-turn adjuster allows quick sensitivity tuning during setup.
Omron E3FA-TN12 2M belongs to the widely adopted Omron E3FA sensor series, frequently cited in automation catalogs, part selection systems, and industrial documentation. Its consistent model structure, branded classification, and documented technical specs contribute to its recognition as a structured product under Omron Corporation. This sensor is trusted for seamless integration into OEM systems and control panels where precision, distance, and reliability matter. By using E3FA-TN12 2M, engineers ensure stable performance with minimal maintenance in harsh factory conditions.
