The sensing face is shielded, which lets the sensor mount flush in surrounding metal without derating the nominal range; that range is rated 15 mm maximum. Inductive sensors of this class detect metallic targets without contact and are used for position feedback on machine tooling, conveyor gates, and indexing tables in industrial automation panels. ## Electrical envelope and what the 2-wire design buys you The output is a 2-wire AC/DC circuit, contact form NO, with a maximum load current of 200 mA — sized to switch relay coils, solenoid valves, and PLC inputs directly without an interposing relay in most cases. Indicator lights are included, giving a local visual state at the sensing face; useful when commissioning or troubleshooting a line that has the sensor mounted low on a frame where the cabinet door is far away. ## Environmental and compliance envelope Ingress protection is IP67 with a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, so the sensor tolerates temporary immersion and hose-down cleaning — the gating entry point for washdown skids in food, beverage, and pharmaceutical lines. Operating temperature spans -13 °F to 158 °F, covering cold-storage cells and standard factory floors alike. Standards listed are CCC, CE, CSA, Ecolab, RoHS, and UL Listed; the Ecolab entry is what carries it onto chemical-cleaned processing equipment, and UL Listed covers North American panel-builder submittals. ## Second-source check — is the XS8G12MA230 a drop-in? The closest same-series candidate on record, XS8G12MA230, is not a wiring-direct alternate for the XS8E1A1MAL01U20: it ships as an unshielded 40 mm × 26 mm × 12 mm body with a 4 mm sensing range and a 2 m lead, against this sensor's 15 mm shielded face and 0.15 m pigtail. Both run 2-wire AC/DC with a 200 mA maximum load, but the body footprint, shielded/unshielded face, range, and exit style all differ — specify the XS8E1A1MAL01U20 by code on the BOM line rather than substituting by series family alone. ## Sourcing posture","metaTitle":"XS8E1A1MAL01U20 Inductive Sensor, Shielded, 15 mm, IP67","metaDescription":"Telemecanique Sensors XS8E1A1MAL01U20 rectangular inductive proximity sensor, shielded, 2-wire 24-240V AC/DC, 15 mm range, IP67, in active production.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Proximity Sensors"],"specifications":{"title":"XS8E1A1MAL01U20","Series":"XS8","IP Rating":"IP67","Standards":"CCC; CE; CSA; Ecolab; RoHS; UL Listed","Display Qty":"1","description":"TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS Inductive Rectangular Proximity Sensor: Shielded, 2 Wires, 3 - Pin 1/2 in, NO","Body Material":"PBT","Overall Depth":"26 mm","Overall Width":"26 mm","Number of Pins":"3","Output Circuit":"2-Wire AC/DC","Overall Height":"13 mm","Sensing Method":"Inductive","Supply Voltage":"24-240V AC ; 24-240V DC","Number of Wires":"2","lifecycle_stage":"current","Display Sell UOM":"EA","Sensor Body Style":"Rectangular","Output Circuit Type":"AC/DC-Type","Sensor Cable Length":"0.15 m","Electrical Connection":"1/2 in Connector","NEMA Enclosure Rating":"4X","Load Current - Maximum":"200 mA","Sensing Face Shielding":"Shielded","AC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V AC","DC Supply Voltage Rating":"24-240V DC","Includes Indicator Lights":"Indicator Lights Included","Sensing Distance - Maximum":"15 mm","Output Circuit Contact Form":"NO","Electrical Installation Type":"Prewired Cable","Operating Temperature - Maximum":"158 °F","Operating Temperature - Minimum":"-13 °F"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$41.91","stockQuantity":0,"priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":"https://cdn.aoctrl.com/b6382740f6561009e5636f1f89a175e7.pdf","sourceUrl":null},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"What series is the XS8E1A1MAL01U20 from?","answer":"It sits in the Telemecanique Sensors XS8 series of rectangular inductive proximity sensors."},{"question":"What IP rating does the XS8E1A1MAL01U20 carry?","answer":"Ingress protection is IP67, with a NEMA 4X enclosure rating — both on the record for the sensor body."},{"question":"What compliance documentation is on record for the XS8E1A1MAL01U20?","answer":"The listed standards are CCC, CE, CSA, Ecolab, RoHS, and UL Listed.
