Rated for 12-24V DC supply and 200 mA maximum load current, the sensor runs directly off a standard 24V PLC input card without external amplification. The 2 mm shielded face means it can be flush-mounted in metal without derating the sensing range — critical when the sensor pocket is drilled into a steel bracket. The IP67 brass body with nickel plating handles washdown and coolant splash on machine tools; the NEMA 4X rating adds corrosion resistance for food-processing zones where caustic cleaners are used. Prewired with a 2 m cable, bare-wire termination — no connector to lose or swap. Approvals include UL Listed, CSA, CE, and RoHS — documentation for compliance audits is available with the shipment. The nickel-plated brass body and IP67 rating satisfy most industrial washdown and NEMA 4X requirements without additional enclosure protection. ## Fit & Compatibility The 8 mm diameter (M8 thread) and 42 mm overall height make this a drop-in replacement for any panel originally wired for an M8 shielded NPN sensor with a 2 m flying lead. The 3-wire NPN NO output matches the majority of 24V DC PLC digital inputs — no polarity swap or pull-up resistor needed.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS108BLNAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor, M8 Shi","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS108BLNAL2 inductive proximity sensor, M8 threaded, shielded, NPN output, 2 mm sensing distance, 12-24V DC, IP67, UL/CSA/CE listed.
