The Omron TL-W5E1 2M is typically considered together with other sensors in the TL-W Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor family because they follow similar mounting patterns, supply ranges, and adjustment behaviour. In practice, engineers often review related models such as Omron TL-W5MD1 2M (Flat Inductive, 5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 2-Wire, NO, Pre-wired 2 M Cable), Omron TL-W5MC1 5M (Flat Inductive, 5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 3-wire NPN, NO, Pre-wired 5 M Cable), and Omron TL-W5MD2 2M (Flat Inductive, 5 mm sensing, Unshielded, DC 2-Wire, NC, 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 TL-W5E1 2M fits naturally into panels, machine frames, dosing systems, and process equipment where a robust Omron Flat Inductive Proximity Sensor is required for repeatable switching in industrial environments.
