The E3F-DS30C4 is a high-performance infrared proximity sensor designed for non-contact object detection. Using diffuse reflective sensing technology, it detects objects by measuring reflected infrared light, making it suitable for applications in automation, robotics, and industrial control. Unlike the C2 version, this sensor uses a PNP output, ideal for systems requiring sourcing logic.

Key Features:

• Detection Range – Up to 30 cm (diffuse reflective sensing)
• NPN Normally Open Output – Logic LOW when object is detected
• Built-in IR Emitter & Receiver – Easy plug-and-play integration
• Adjustable Sensitivity – Via onboard potentiometer
• LED Indicator – Visual feedback for object detection
• Durable Housing – M18 threaded cylindrical metal body for secure mounting
