The unshielded face allows a longer range than a shielded version, but requires a non-metallic zone around the sensing face to avoid false triggers. Supply voltage spans 24–240 V AC or DC, so it works with both AC and DC control circuits without a voltage converter. Output is a 2-wire NO contact rated to switch 300 mA. Rated IP65, IP67, and IP69K, the PBT housing and 1/2 inch connector stand up to high-pressure washdown — food, beverage, and car-wash environments. The green LED gives a visual on-target confirmation at a glance. Compliance documentation includes CCC, CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listing. The UL mark simplifies acceptance in North American panels; CE and CCC cover European and Chinese machinery export. Rectangular body measures 40 x 40 x 70 mm (W x D x H) with a 1/2 inch connector. Two-wire NO output, unshielded, 40 mm sensing distance — keep face clear of metal by at least 40 mm.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XS8C2A4MAU20 Inductive Proximity Sensor, 40mm","metaDescription":"Active-production XS8C2A4MAU20 proximity sensor: 40mm sensing distance, unshielded, 24-240V AC/DC, 300mA output, IP65/67/69K, PBT body, 1/2\" connector.

It cannot drop in without considering mounting: the unshielded XS8C2A4MAU20 needs a non-metallic zone around its face, while the shielded version can be flush-mounted in metal.
