Overview
The Omron TL-M5MY1 is a round-cable inductive proximity sensor designed for general-purpose industrial automation. This AC-operated model operates within the 90–250V AC range and features a standard 2-meter oil-resistant, vibration-resistant cable with 0.3 mm diameter cores suited for AC switching applications. The sensor delivers reliable non-contact position detection for conveyor systems, manufacturing lines, and machinery control.

Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The TL-M5MY1 is part of Omron’s established TL-M round-cable series. Within the same family, models with similar 5 mm sensing distance and 2 m cable length may have interchangeable mechanical mounting but verify electrical specifications before substitution. Consult Omron’s TL-M product catalog or your system integrator for confirmed replacement models. Never assume model interchangeability without verifying voltage rating and output circuit compatibility.
Works With
- Standard AC relay circuits and contactors
- Industrial PLC platforms (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron)
- Discrete input modules (90–250V AC rated)
- Industrial automation supervisory systems
- Legacy and modern manufacturing control architectures
