The unit carries UL, CSA and CE approvals. ## Where this class of part sits Block-style inductive sensors of this class are used as end-of-travel, position-confirm and part-present detectors on assembly lines, packaging machinery and material handling cells, where a non-contact metal target has to be read at short range into a 24 V logic input. ## Same-family siblings worth knowing The XS8C1A1PAL2 sibling runs 25 mm range on a 2 m PVC cable at 1000 HZ, and the XS8D1A1PAL2 runs 60 mm range at 150 HZ; this 26 x 13 x 26 mm block with a 15 mm head at 2000 HZ on a nano M8 connector is the only one of the three combining that footprint, range and termination. This part has a current lifecycle stage, so it is ordered to the BOM line as a current production unit; the record carries a Prop 65 warning for diisononyl phthalate and di-isodecyl phthalate that ships with the documentation. No official replacement or second-source order code is identified on this record, so any cross to a different XS8 body must be re-checked against range, termination and timing numbers, not the family name alone.","metaTitle":"Square D XS8E1A1PAM8 Inductive Sensor, 15 mm, PNP, M8","metaDescription":"Square D / Telemecanique XS8E1A1PAM8 inductive proximity sensor, 15 mm range, 12-24 VDC, PNP NO on a 3-pin nano M8 connector, IP67.
