The Omron E2EC-CR5C1 2M is typically considered together with other sensors in the E2EC Cable Amplifier Proximity Sensor 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 TL-W5MD1 5M (Flat Inductive, 5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 2-Wire, NO, Pre-wired 5 M Cable), and Omron E2S-Q23 1M (Compact Square Type, 2.5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-Wire, NPN, NO, Pre-wired 1 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 E2EC-CR5C1 2M 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.
