The Telemecanique XS108BLNAM12 is a Series XS1 inductive proximity sensor in a nickel-plated brass cylindrical body, M8 threaded, shielded. It detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets within 2 mm per the datasheet sensing distance. The NPN normally-open output sinks up to 200 mA at 12-24 VDC, with an M12 male connector for the 3-wire direct connection. Rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, so it withstands washdown environments. The LED indicator confirms target presence. This is an active-production part with CE, CSA, UL Listing, and RoHS compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Will XS108BLNAM12 drop into a panel that was specified around XS9E11RPBL01M12 without rewiring?
No. The XS108BLNAM12 is NPN normally-open; the XS9E11RPBL01M12 is PNP normally-closed. The mounting form factor (M8 cylindrical vs rectangular) and sensing distance (shielded 2 mm vs unshielded 10 mm) also differ. A direct swap would require output circuit rewiring and mechanical rework.
What compliance documentation does this sensor carry?
The XS108BLNAM12 is CE marked, CSA certified, UL Listed, and RoHS compliant. These certifications are per the spec table.
What are the key electrical ratings?
Supply voltage is 12-24 VDC; maximum load current is 200 mA; output is NPN normally-open (sinking). Sensing distance is 2 mm shielded. Operating temperature range is -13 °F to 158 °F.
