The Omron E2E-X4MC28-M3 is often compared with other models in the E2E Proximity Sensor group due to shared installation characteristics and consistent sensing behavior. Engineers frequently evaluate Omron E2E-X9B1T12-M1 (M12, 9 mm sensing, DC 3-Wire PNP, NO, M12 Connector), Omron E2E-X3B28-M5 (3 mm sensing, DC 3-Wire PNP, M8 (3-pin) Connector), and Omron E2E-X20MD2-M1G (M30, 20 mm sensing, DC 2-wire, M12 Connector) when selecting suitable alternatives. This ensures compatibility when matching size, sensing distance, wiring style, output logic, or connector format. The E2E-X4MC28-M3 integrates smoothly into machinery, fixtures, conveyors, and automation systems requiring dependable detection from an Omron Proximity Sensor.
