Sensing is inductive and shielded, with a maximum sensing distance of 1 mm — meaning the target has to come inside that 1 mm window for a clean switch, and the shielded face allows flush-mounting in metal without derating the headroom. The output is a 3-wire PNP normally-open contact form, powered from a 5-24V DC supply, which makes the part a direct fit for the sourcing input cards on most modern PLCs and the positive-switching logic that controls solenoid valves, small relays, and indicator stacks. ## Electrical I/O and what it means on the panel Supply is rated 5-24V DC only — there is no AC rating on this device, so a transformer-fed 24 VAC control circuit will not power it and the field-side PSU must be a DC source. The PNP NO 3-wire format means the brown lead (typically +V), blue lead (0V), and black output (loads to +V when the target is sensed) — the wiring convention a controls integrator plugs into a positive-switching PLC input or into a relay coil with the return on the blue lead. Both overload protection and short-circuit protection are listed on the device, which is the standard XS1 in-built self-protection that lets the sensor survive a wiring error or a stalled output without dropping the whole machine to a faulted state. ## Connector, indication, and mechanical envelope Connection is an M8 direct connector on a 3-pin body, with the indicator light built in — the same M8 patch cord pattern used across the rest of the miniature XS line, so a single 3-pin M8 lead (right-angle or straight) covers both this sensor and the matching NO/NC variants on the machine. The 8 mm threaded barrel with 42 mm overall length is the standard XS1 form factor: drop-in mount in an M8 through-hole, lock with a pair of jam nuts, and the shielded face lets the barrel sit flush in a metallic bracket. ## Environment and the body around it The housing is IP67 stainless 303, rated for operating temperatures from -13 °F to 158 °F, so the sensor survives washdown, coolant splash, and the high-ambient pockets inside a control panel — the go-anywhere body for food-and-bev, pharma skid, and general outdoor machinery. Compliance listing covers CE, CSA, and UL Listed — sufficient for machinery going into North American and European OEM panels without a separate component-level approval cycle.","metaTitle":"XS1N05PA311S XS1 Inductive Sensor, 8 mm, 1 mm, PNP NO","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS1N05PA311S 8 mm shielded inductive proximity sensor, 5-24V DC, PNP NO 3-wire, IP67 stainless 303 body, CE/CSA/UL listed.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Proximity Sensors"],"specifications":{"title":"XS1N05PA311S","Series":"XS1","Features":"Overload Protection; Short Circuit Protection","IP Rating":"IP67","Standards":"CE; CSA; UL Listed","Display Qty":"1","description":"TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor: Built-in Connector, Shielded, 3 Wires","Body Material":"Stainless Steel","Number of Pins":"3","Output Circuit":"PNP","Overall Height":"42 mm","Sensing Method":"Inductive","Supply Voltage":"Not Rated ; 5-24V DC","Number of Wires":"3","Sensor Diameter":"8 mm","lifecycle_stage":"current","Display Sell UOM":"EA","Sensor Body Style":"Cylindrical","Output Circuit Type":"PNP","Electrical Connection":"M8","Sensing Face Shielding":"Shielded","Nominal Sensor Diameter":"M8 Threaded","AC Supply Voltage Rating":"Not Rated","DC Supply Voltage Rating":"5-24V DC","Includes Indicator Lights":"Indicator Lights Included","Body Stainless Steel Grade":"303","Sensing Distance - Maximum":"1 mm","Output Circuit Contact Form":"NO","Electrical Installation Type":"Direct Connector","Operating Temperature - Maximum":"158 °F","Operating Temperature - Minimum":"-13 °F"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$30.48","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/9471b96acb5129f8222302d0bef8acb4.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What features are listed for XS1N05PA311S?","answer":"The device carries overload protection and short-circuit protection on its output stage, which is the in-built self-protection that lets the sensor survive a wiring fault or stalled load without dropping the line to a tripped state."},{"question":"What compliance documentation covers XS1N05PA311S?","answer":"The device is listed to CE, CSA, and UL Listed, covering machinery going into both North American and European OEM panels at the component level."},{"question":"What supply and output does XS1N05PA311S run on?","answer":"Supply is 5-24V DC only — there is no AC rating — and the output is a 3-wire PNP normally-open contact form, a direct fit for the positive-switching inputs on most modern PLCs."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"icboms-matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/XS1N05PA311S","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/XS1N05PA311S when reusing this data.
