The Omron E2C-CR8A 3M is typically considered together with other sensors in the E2C/E2C-H Separate Amplifier Proximity Sensor with Adjustment Potentiometer family because they follow similar mounting patterns, supply ranges, and adjustment behaviour. In practice, engineers often review related models such as Omron E2KQ-X10ME1 2M (Capacitive, 10 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire NPN, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable), Omron E2S-Q21 1M (Compact Square Type, 2.5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 2-Wire, NO, Pre-wired 1 M Cable), and Omron E2K-X4MF1 2M (Capacitive, 4mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire, PNP, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable) when selecting the most suitable variant for a tank, chute, conveyor, or compact fixture location. Comparing type, usable sensing distance, mounting style, output configuration, switching mode, and connection method helps match each sensor to the available mechanical space and wiring layout. The E2C-CR8A 3M fits naturally into panels, machine frames, dosing systems, and process equipment where a robust Omron Proximity Sensor is required for repeatable switching in industrial environments.
