It detects ferrous targets at a maximum distance of 8 mm with a minimum of 4 mm, outputting a NPN normally-closed signal on a 3-wire, 4-pin M12 connector. Runs on 12 to 48 VDC and carries a maximum load current of 200 mA. Built-in protections include overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit—so a wiring swap or a stalled load won't kill it. The nickel-plated brass body and IP67/IP69K rating mean it's ready for high-pressure washdown environments (food, petrochem) and still survives a hose-down. The shielded sensing face reduces the chance of false triggers from metal side-approaching the sensor body. The 8 mm sensing distance is the rated maximum for a standard ferrous target (typically steel). The 4 mm minimum gives the true usable range when derated for non-ferrous metals or temperature variation—if your target is aluminum, expect about half that distance. Shielded construction means the sensor can be flush-mounted into metal without losing range. NPN output circuit (sinking) with a normally-closed contact form. If your PLC input card is sourcing (PNP) or you need a normally-open signal, this sensor doesn't swap without a change in wiring logic or an interface relay. IP69K is the higher rating for high-pressure washdown. IP67 covers dust and immersion. Standard M18 threaded barrel, 74 mm overall height, direct connector (no pigtail). Fits any 18 mm mounting hole or bracket; the M12 connector means pre-wired cables with 4-pin female ends. Overall height of 74 mm may require clearance in shallow cavities—check the sensor's exposed length against your bracket's depth. Three-wire NPN configuration: brown (12-48 VDC), blue (0V), black (NPN NC output). The indicator light helps during commissioning—when the target is present, the LED switches state, confirming the sensing gap. ## Compliance documentation Carries CE, CSA, UL Listed, and RoHS compliance marks. The nickel-plated brass material and full marking mean a QC pack for traceability is straightforward—nameplate matches PO line-item.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique Sensors XS618B1NBM12 Inductive Proximity, M18","metaDescription":"XS618B1NBM12 active-production inductive proximity sensor from Telemecanique XS6 series.
