Output is PNP normally open, switching at 500 Hz with a maximum load of 100 mA. The M18 threaded cylindrical body, M12 quick-disconnect, and straight face make it a standard panel-mount choice for tight cavities. IP69K rating qualifies this sensor for high-pressure washdown environments. Built-in overload, short-circuit, and reverse polarity protection remove common field failure modes. The PMMA lens resists impact and scratching over time; harder than polycarbonate, it holds calibration drift lower in dusty environments. Supply is 12-24V DC only; confirm the panel rail provides DC before specifying. The light-on switching mode is fixed — no dark-on selection — so verify that a present-target logic state matches your PLC input requirement. ## Sibling comparison: XU8M18MA230 The closest form-factor peer is the XU8M18MA230, also M18 threaded diffuse but with an electromechanical relay output and universal 24-240V AC/DC supply. It switches at only 25 Hz, senses 100 mm max, and uses prewired cable instead of M12. If your BOM calls for PNP and a fast 500 Hz response, the XUB5APANM12 is the correct part; the XU8M18MA230 is not a direct electrical substitute.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XUB5APANM12 Photoelectric Sensor, Diffuse, PNP","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XUB5APANM12 photoelectric sensor: diffuse sensing, PNP output, M12 connector, 600 mm range, 500 Hz switching, IP69K.
