Omron E3S-5B41 Photoelectric Switch

Omron E3S-5B41 Photoelectric Switch is a through-beam receiver used in industrial automation for reliable object detection and position sensing across conveyors, packaging machines, assembly lines, and material‑handling equipment. It features an infrared LED light source, NPN output, and operates on 12–24 VDC with IP67 protection in an industrial‑grade plastic housing, with mounting via standard bracket or panel. With long‑range sensing (with a compatible emitter), fast response, and a selectable Light ON / Dark ON mode, it supports high‑speed detection in logistics, food and beverage lines, pharmaceutical packaging, and manufacturing automation; common replacements include E3S-5B42, E3JK-5DM1, and E3Z-T61.
