It delivers a 40 mm maximum sensing distance on 2-wire AC/DC supply spanning 24 to 240 volts – one part number covers both AC and DC control voltages, reducing line-item count in the BOM. The IP68 and IP69K enclosures, backed by NEMA 4X, mean the sensor survives high-pressure washdown and temporary submersion, which is the dominant reason to choose this over a standard IP67 unit. The PPS body and nickel-plated finish resist caustic wash chemicals and physical abrasion in food, beverage, and heavy industrial environments. ## Integration and mounting considerations The M30 threaded barrel mounts through a standard 30 mm hole; the unshielded face requires a non-flush mounting – the manufacturer recommends a free-zone around the sensing face for full 40 mm range. The 2 m prewired cable with bare ends gives you direct termination into a DIN-rail terminal block; no connector body to tighten or seal. Operating temperature spans -13 to 185 °F, so it can sit outdoors or in a hot processing zone without derating the sensing distance. The built-in indicator (a single LED) shows output state for commissioning and fault isolation. ## Sourcing and supply recommendation This is an active, catalogue-listed part with no discontinuation signals. Multiple global distributors carry the XS2 series, and the XS230AAMAL2 itself is regularly quoted against RFQs for MRO and OEM builds. Because it runs on a broad AC/DC supply and single NO contact, it specs directly into a large installed base of Telemecanique XS2 panels. Submit an RFQ with your volume and target lead time; the supply base can commit without a special factory order.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique Sensors XS230AAMAL2 Inductive Sensor, M30 Unsh","metaDescription":"XS230AAMAL2 inductive proximity sensor, M30 unshielded, 40mm sensing distance, 2-wire AC/DC 24-240V, 300mA, IP68/IP69K, UL/CE/CCC.
