It operates on 12 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN (sinking) output configurable as NO or NC. The sensor head supports four detection modes — diffuse (30 cm), background suppression (12 cm), polarized retroreflective (2 m), and through-beam (15 m) — allowing one hardware platform to cover multiple sensing tasks. The 2 ms on/off response and 250 Hz switching frequency are adequate for moderate-speed counting and positioning on conveyors or packaging lines. ## PNP sibling comparison The closest sibling is XUB0BPSNM12 — identical in every way except output polarity: XUB0BNSNM12 is NPN, XUB0BPSNM12 is PNP. Barrel diameter (18 mm), connector (M12 4-pin male), sensing distances, response time, switching frequency, environmental rating (NEMA 4X/12, IP67), enclosure material, and approvals all match. If your existing panel wiring expects a sourcing (PNP) input, this NPN version will not drive that input directly without a converter or reconfiguration of the input card. Rated NEMA 4X/12 and IP67, nickel-plated brass housing, PMMA lens. Operating temperature -13 to 131 °F, 18 mm threaded barrel, M12 4-pin connector, 3-wire.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XUB0BNSNM12, 18mm NPN, 12–24 VDC, 100 mA, IP67","metaDescription":"Active Telemecanique XUB0BNSNM12 photoelectric sensor, 18mm tubular, NPN output, 12–24 VDC, 100 mA, 250 Hz, IP67/NEMA 4X.
