E3F-DS100C4 Infrared Proximity Sensor

The E3F-DS100C4 Infrared Proximity Sensor is an industrial diffuse-type optical sensor that utilizes modulated infrared technology to accurately detect objects up to a distance of 100 cm. This industrial optical proximity sensor detects objects by measuring the reflection of light from their surfaces without direct contact, enabling distance measurement. Its resistance to optical interference from sources like sunlight or lamps makes it a highly efficient choice for industrial environments.

The sensor operates based on receiving reflected light and converting it into an electrical signal. Since its detection is not dependent on the object's material, it can identify all objects that reflect light. Additionally, installation and use of this sensor are very straightforward, requiring no sensitivity adjustment.

The E3F-DS100C4 optical sensor features an NPN Normally Open (NO) output and can handle a current of up to 300 mA. With a supply voltage range of 6 to 36V DC, a response frequency of 300 Hz, and a fast response time of 1.5 ms, it provides reliable performance in various working conditions. Its rugged housing is made of ABS, and its lens is made of PMMA, along with an IP67 protection rating, safeguarding the sensor against dust and moisture.

This optical sensor with NPN output operates stably within a temperature range of -30°C to +65°C and a relative humidity of 35% to 95%. Common applications include security systems, robotics projects, counting in production lines, and obstacle detection. For these reasons, this infrared proximity sensor is an ideal choice for industrial automation projects and precise process control.
