That shielding means it can be flush-mounted into a metal bracket without the target metal behind the face causing false triggers — a common headache in tight machine frames where the sensor pocket is cut into the guard rail. What sets this sensor apart for washdown environments is the IP65/IP67/IP69K triple rating. IP69K means it withstands 80°C water at 100 bar from a spray nozzle held 100 mm away — the standard for food-and-beverage lines, dairy CIP stations, and off-road vehicle underbody wash. The PBT housing resists the caustic detergents that degrade nylon over repeated cycles. Supply voltage spans 24-240V AC and 24-240V DC, so it drops into existing control circuits without a separate power supply module. The 2-wire programmable output (NO or NC) is set via the teach-in button, letting one SKU cover both fail-safe and standard interlock logic. ## Load current, wiring, and temperature envelope Switching capacity is 300 mA maximum load current — enough to drive a small relay coil or PLC input directly, but not a contactor solenoid. For higher loads, interpose a relay. Operating range is -13°F to 158°F (-25°C to 70°C), covering freezer-zone to hot washdown. The integrated indicator light (yellow LED) gives a quick visual on target presence without a handheld tool — useful when the sensor is mounted in a hard-to-reach corner of a packaging machine. ## Approvals and compliance documentation Carries UL Listed, CSA, CE, CCC, and RoHS marks — the UL and CSA listings mean it passes North American panel inspection without a substitution request. Schneider provides the EU Declaration of Conformity and the UL file number on request; the RoHS compliance statement covers the current substance restrictions.","metaTitle":"Schneider XS8C4A1MPG13 Inductive Sensor, 20 mm, IP69K","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric XS8C4A1MPG13 inductive proximity sensor, 20 mm shielded range, 24-240V AC/DC, IP65/IP67/IP69K, programmable NO/NC output.

The XS8C4A1MPG13 is 40x40x117 mm with screw clamp terminals and a 20 mm range.
