Omron E3T-FD13 5M Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3T-FD13 5M is an ultrathin diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor for short-distance object sensing from 5 to 30 mm. A red LED supplies the sensing light, while the PNP output provides the resulting switching signal to compatible PLC inputs and machine-control circuitry. Light-ON operation defines the output behavior, and response time is specified at 1 ms max. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 20 mA, and uses a 5 m pre-wired cable for additional wiring length between the sensing point and control equipment. Within the E3T Series, the E3T-FD13 5M provides the long-cable PNP option. Related 5 m cable diffuse sensors are available across Omron Industrial Sensors.

The Omron E3T-FD13 5M Photoelectric Sensor uses diffuse-reflective sensing across a short 5 to 30 mm range in an ultrathin rectangular format. Its red LED directs optical light toward the target, while returned light is processed by the built-in amplifier to establish the switching condition. The PNP output provides the resulting signal to compatible PLC inputs and industrial control circuitry, and Light-ON operation defines the specified output behavior. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC, consumes up to 20 mA, and responds within 1 ms max. A 5 m pre-wired cable provides additional wiring length between the sensor and control system. The small housing supports installation in compact equipment with restricted mounting space.
For an Omron PNP diffuse reflective sensor requiring a 5 m cable and 5 to 30 mm sensing, the corresponding model is the E3T-FD13 5M. Polybutylene terephthalate is listed for the housing, while denatured polyarylate is used for the optical section. IP67 protection is specified, and approximate weight is 20 g. Its specification also suits searches for an Omron Light ON photoelectric sensor and Omron long cable PNP sensor. The 1 ms response supports small-object presence sensing, positioning, and switching in compact machine layouts. For the related PNP model with Dark-ON operation and the same 5 m cable length and sensing range, see E3T-FD14 5M.
