It carries the M18 threaded barrel (18 mm sensor diameter) with an unshielded sensing face, and is listed as a current-production part. Wiring runs as 2-wire AC/DC with a normally-open (NO) contact form, so a single cable pair handles both supply and load switching. Output type is AC/DC-type, which is what lets the same device accept either polarity of DC or AC control voltage without reconfiguration. ## Ratings that drive the BOM decision Supply voltage is rated 24-240V AC and 24-240V DC, which puts the XS218SAMAL10 in the universal-voltage bucket rather than a low-voltage DC-only class. That matters where the panel still carries mixed AC control and 24V DC I/O islands — one SKU covers both. Sensing distance spans 8 mm to 15 mm on an unshielded face, so target layout needs to respect a nominal 15 mm maximum and 8 mm minimum engagement with the standard target. Unshielded also means flush-mounting against metal reduces range — the body must keep the head clear of surrounding steel. Maximum load current is 300 mA, sufficient to drive a small relay or contactor coil directly, or feed a PLC input block without an interposing relay. Operating temperature spans -13 °F to 185 °F, the typical industrial sensor envelope covering cold storage and process-side heat, with the upper end rated for washdown or near-steam environments when paired with the IP68/IP69K sealing. ## Environment and body — food/process grade The body is 316L stainless steel with a nickel-plated finish. IP68 plus IP69K and a NEMA 4X enclosure rating mean the XS218SAMAL10 is rated for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown. An integral indicator is included, so output state is visible on the body without a remote stack light — useful for hand-debug on a washdown line where the operator needs to confirm target detection through the sight glass. ## Compliance documentation Standards coverage on this listing is CCC, CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listed — the multi-region approvals a North American or EU panel specifier expects, plus the CCC marking required for China-built machinery exports. Lifecycle stage is recorded as current, so the part remains on the active orderable line and is specified into the BOM rather than sourced as a last-time-buy. ## How it sits against the closest sibling The closest functional second-source inside the same family is the XS218SAMAL2, which carries the identical M18 body, 24-240V AC/DC supply, 8–15 mm sensing range, IP68/IP69K and 316L body. The only decision-relevant difference is the cable length: 2 m on the XS218SAMAL2 versus 10 m on the XS218SAMAL10, which is the reason the 10 m SKU exists at all and is not a parametric peer for short-run drop-in replacement.","metaTitle":"XS218SAMAL10 XS2 Inductive Sensor, M18, 24-240V AC/DC","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS2 series M18 inductive proximity sensor, 8–15 mm range, 24-240V AC/DC, 316L stainless steel body, IP68/IP69K, current production, 10 m cable.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Proximity Sensors"],"specifications":{"title":"XS218SAMAL10","Series":"XS2","IP Rating":"IP68; IP69K","Standards":"CCC; CE; CSA; RoHS; UL Listed","Body Finish":"Nickel Plated","Display Qty":"1","description":"TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS Inductive Cylindrical Proximity Sensor: Non-Terminated Cable, Unshielded, NO","Body Material":"Stainless Steel","Output Circuit":"2-Wire AC/DC","Overall Height":"60 mm","Sensing Method":"Inductive","Supply Voltage":"24-240V AC ; 24-240V DC","Number of Wires":"2","Sensor Diameter":"18 mm","lifecycle_stage":"current","Display Sell UOM":"EA","Sensor Body Style":"Cylindrical","Output Circuit Type":"AC/DC-Type","Sensor Cable Length":"10 m","Electrical Connection":"Bare Wire","NEMA Enclosure Rating":"4X","Load Current - Maximum":"300 mA","Sensing Face Shielding":"Unshielded","Nominal Sensor Diameter":"M18 Threaded","AC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V AC","DC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V DC","Includes Indicator Lights":"Indicator Lights Included","Body Stainless Steel Grade":"316L","Sensing Distance - Maximum":"15 mm","Sensing Distance - Minimum":"8 mm","Output Circuit Contact Form":"NO","Electrical Installation Type":"Prewired Cable","Operating Temperature - Maximum":"185 °F","Operating Temperature - Minimum":"-13 °F"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$58.42 – $174.16","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/3228713eb3de42a603ba70af7ffec4d1.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What is the closest functional second-source for XS218SAMAL10?","answer":"Within the same family, the XS218SAMAL2 is the closest match — same M18 316L body, same 24-240V AC/DC supply, same 8–15 mm range and IP68/IP69K rating.
