Its shielded face lets you mount flush in steel without excessive derating – the nominal sensing distance is 4 mm, repeatable to 3 mm minimum for close-clearance applications. Output is PNP normally-open, switching up to 200 mA from a 12-48V DC supply. That gives you flexible integration with PLC inputs or relay coils across standard industrial voltages. The 3-wire prewired cable (2 m, bare ends) keeps installation simple – just wire brown/blue/black and lock in the screw terminals. Environmental sealing is robust: IP68 and IP69K, backed by a NEMA 4X rating, so it stands up to high-pressure washdowns and dust ingress. The nickel-plated brass body adds corrosion resistance for food, beverage, or outdoor applications. Operating temperature from -13°F to 158°F covers most production floor conditions. ## Active production – no LTB scramble This sensor is listed as current-production (active lifecycle stage), so it's not a last-time-buy or obsolete hunt. You can specify it into new designs or restock MRO spares with confidence that supply will hold. We source it directly through the authorized channel – quoted to order with typical lead times. Compliance documentation is on file: CE, CSA, UL Listed, and RoHS. That covers both North American and European machine safety and environmental requirements. No special paperwork needed for standard industrial use. ## Integration notes at a glance Flush or non-flush? It's shielded, so flush mounting in steel works without losing detection range. Use a standard M12 mounting hole; the sensor body is nickel-plated brass for durability. The included indicator light gives instant status at commissioning time. Electrical: 3-wire PNP NO – connect brown to +12-48V DC, blue to 0V, black to the load (PLC input or relay). Maximum load current 200 mA, enough for most automation inputs without an external amplifier. Cable is 2 m bare-end; keep an eye on cable routing to avoid flex fatigue near the connection point.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS612B1PAL2 Inductive Sensor, M12 Shielded PNP","metaDescription":"Active-production Telemecanique XS612B1PAL2 M12 shielded inductive proximity sensor, PNP NO, 200mA, IP68/IP69K, 12-48V DC.
