NEMA 1/4X/12 and IP68 enclosure — suitable for washdown or outdoor panel entry. LED indication on the body for alignment. ## Crossing to XS9E11RPBL01M12? Not a drop-in If you're sourcing a replacement for a panel that listed XS9E11RPBL01M12, note the differences: XS8C1A1PAL2 senses 25 mm vs the XS9's 10 mm. Output is NO instead of NC. Enclosure is IP68 vs IP67. Load rating is 200 mA vs 100 mA. Both are 3-wire PNP, 12–24 VDC, but the XS8 uses a 2 m cable while the XS9 uses an M12 connector. Mounting dimensions are different (40×15×54 vs 26×13×40 mm). The XS8 can't replace an XS9 without changing the bracket and rewiring the output logic. ## Wiring and mounting notes Three wires: brown (V+), blue (V-), black (output). PNP NO output goes high when target enters 25 MM sensing field.","metaTitle":"Square D XS8C1A1PAL2 Inductive Sensor, 25mm, PNP, IP68","metaDescription":"Square D XS8C1A1PAL2 inductive proximity sensor, 25 mm sensing, PNP NO, 12-24 VDC, 200 mA load, IP68, current production — source to order.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Proximity Sensors"],"specifications":{"UPC":"78590163130","Size":"40 MM W X 15 MM D X 54 MM H","Model":"XS8","title":"XS8C1A1PAL2","Approval":"UL, CSA, CE","Category":"Inductive Proximity Sensor","Material":"PBT","Enclosure":"NEMA 1/4X/12, IP68","Brand Name":"OSICONCEPT[T]","description":"SQUARE D XS8C1A1PAL2: PROXIMITY SENSOR SZ C DC PNP XS8","Sub-Category":"Block/Rectangular Inductive Proximity Sensor","UPC 12 Digit":"389110142658","Shielding Type":"UNSHIELDED","Connection Type":"2 M PVR CABLE","Number of Wires":"3","lifecycle_stage":"current","Sensing Distance":"25 MM","Sensing Position":"FRONT","Operating Voltage":"12 TO 24 VDC","Manufacturer Brand":"Square D Co.","Product Description":"Telemecanique XS8C1A1PAL2 Proximity Sensor Sz C Dc Pnp Xs8","Switching Frequency":"1000 HZ","Output Configuration":"NO, PNP","Operating Temperature":"-13 TO 158 DEG F","Additional Information":"MAXIMUM LOAD CURRENT 200 MILLIAMPERE; WITH LED INDICATION","Full Technical Description":"Pbt Material; 40 mm W X 15 mm D X 54 mm H Size; 2 M PVR Cable Connection Type; 3 Wire(S); UL, CSA, CE Approval; 12 to 24 VDC Operating Voltage; NEMA 1/4X/12, IP68 Enclosure; -13 to 158 Deg F Operating Temperature; No, PNP Output Configuration; 25 mm Sensing Distance; Front Sensing Position; Unshielded Shielding Type; 1000 Hz Switching Frequency; OSICONCEPT[T] Brand; Maximum Load Current 200 Milliampere; With LED Indication; XS8 Model","Proposition 65 Warning (CA)":"WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including: Diisononyl phthalate (DINP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
