Housed in nickel-plated brass with a 24 mm diameter, it carries an 8 mm shielded sensing range that allows flush mounting in metal panels without performance loss. The PNP normally-open output and 3-wire 12-48 V DC supply integrate directly with standard PLC sinking inputs, while the 5 m prewired cable simplifies installation in tight wiring ducts. Overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection are built in, reducing the need for external fusing or diode clamping on the output. Listed with UL, CE, CSA, and approvals, the XS618B1PAL5 carries documentation that clears customs and satisfies plant safety audits across most regulated industrial markets. ## Sourcing and cross-reference note The XS9E11RPBL01M12 is often raised as an alternative, but it differs in body material (plastic rectangular vs brass cylindrical), shielding (unshielded vs shielded), output (NC vs NO), and connection (M12 connector vs 5 m cable), so it is not a direct physical or electrical swap. The shielded face allows flush mounting in metal, so no dead-zone compensation is needed around the sensor body. Operating temperature range from -13 °F to 158 °F covers most indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The IP68/IP69K rating means it withstands high-pressure washdown and temporary immersion, making it suitable for food processing and washdown zones.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS618B1PAL5 Inductive Sensor, PNP NO, 8mm, IP6","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS618B1PAL5 cylindrical shielded inductive proximity sensor, PNP NO, 8mm sensing distance, 5m cable, IP68/IP69K, nickel-plated brass.
