The shielded face allows flush mounting in metal without derating the sensing distance — the 4 mm is consistent whether surrounded by steel or air. Switched load current is rated 200 mA maximum, suitable for direct input to most PLC digital I/O modules without an interposing relay. IP67 and IP69K ratings cover hose-down and high-pressure washdown environments; the nickel-plated brass body resists corrosion common in food or chemical zones. ## Fit check vs the rectangular plastic peer The XS9E11RPBL01M12 is also an inductive proximity sensor but comes in a rectangular plastic housing, unshielded, with PNP NC output and a 10 mm sensing distance. Its M12 connector is mechanically similar, but the NPN-vs-PNP output and normally-open vs normally-closed contact form mean the wiring and PLC configuration must change. The 4 mm shielded range of the XS612B1NAM12 cannot be directly replaced by the unshielded 10 mm sensor without accounting for flush mounting limits and target material. Supplied with the M12 connector; no separate cable or mounting bracket ships, so confirm the mating connector and bracket are in the kitting order. ## Mounting and wiring checklist Body diameter is M12 threaded, 62 mm overall height; torque to manufacturer spec when mounting flush in metal. Three-wire NPN output: brown (24V), blue (0V), black (NPN NO switch to 0V). Verify PLC input card is sourcing (PNP input) or use a pull-up resistor. Operating temperature range -13°F to 158°F. LED indicator built into the body shows output state for commissioning and troubleshooting.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS612B1NAM12 Inductive Sensor, M12 Shielded, N","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS612B1NAM12 inductive proximity sensor, M12 cylindrical shielded, NPN NO, 4 mm sensing range, 12-48 VDC, IP67/IP69K.
