Omron E3Z-G62-M3J Photoelectric Sensor
Omron E3Z-G62-M3J is a grooved photoelectric sensor with a fixed 25 mm sensing gap for opaque targets as small as 1.5 mm in diameter. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path across the groove, while the NPN output transfers the switching state to compatible industrial control equipment. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required machine sequence. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a pre-wired M8 4-pin connector for electrical integration. Current consumption is specified at 40 mA maximum, while response time is 1 ms maximum. An orange operation indicator provides visual operating status. Within the E3Z Series, the E3Z-G62-M3J provides an M8 configuration for connector-based grooved sensors across Omron Automation Products.

The Omron E3Z-G62-M3J Photoelectric Sensor uses a grooved sensing arrangement with a fixed 25 mm gap for opaque targets as small as 1.5 mm in diameter. Its 940 nm infrared LED establishes the optical path across the groove, while the NPN output supports up to 100 mA load current and a load supply voltage of up to 26.4 VDC. Light-ON or Dark-ON operation can be selected according to the required control logic. The sensor operates from 12 to 24 VDC and uses a pre-wired M8 4-pin connector. Current consumption is specified at 40 mA maximum, response time is 1 ms maximum, and an orange operation indicator provides visual status information during use.
For an Omron grooved sensor requiring NPN output and an M8 connector, the corresponding model is the E3Z-G62-M3J. 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, and mutual-interference protection are included. ABS is listed as the housing material, while IP64 enclosure protection is specified. Its configuration also matches searches for an Omron M8 slot sensor and Omron 25 mm NPN photoelectric sensor. For the fixed-cable E3Z-G62 version with a 2 m pre-wired connection, see the E3Z-G62 2M.
