The Omron E2E-S04SR8-WC-C2 5M Proximity Sensor is often used alongside other small-diameter inductive sensors in the E2E series, as these models share similar installation patterns and stable detection behavior. Engineers comparing options in this range frequently look at alternatives such as Omron E2E-S05S12-WC-B1 5M (head size M5, sensing distance 1.2 mm, NO switching mode), Omron E2E-C06N04-WC-C2 5M (head size 6.5 dia, sensing distance 4 mm, Unshielded), and Omron E2E-C03N02-CJ-B2 0.3M (head size 3 dia, sensing distance 2 mm, Unshielded, Pre-wired M8 connector, 0.3 M Cable). Using related sensors from the same family helps maintain consistent wiring layouts, predictable sensing performance, and easier panel design. The E2E-S04SR8-WC-C2 5M fits naturally into applications requiring compact sensing heads, short detection ranges, and stable switching in tight industrial spaces, making it suitable for machine builders standardizing on Omronβs small-diameter proximity line.
