The Telemecanique XS112BLNAM12 is a cylindrical M12 threaded inductive proximity sensor from the XS1 series. It detects ferrous metal targets up to 2 mm away without physical contact, outputting an NPN normally-open signal when a target enters the sensing field. Runs on 12-24 VDC and switches up to 200 mA load current through its 3-wire, 4-pin M12 connector. The shielded sensing face lets you flush-mount it in metal without worrying about false triggers from the surrounding material. IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings mean it handles washdown, dust, and outdoor moisture — common on packaging lines, conveyor systems, and machine tools where coolant spray is a fact of life.
Compliance documentation includes CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listing — covers most industrial control panels in North America and Europe without extra paperwork.
Integration notes
Brass body with nickel plating stands up to vibration and repeated wrench torque during installation. The M12 connector is a direct plug-in — no terminal strip needed inside the panel, just a mating cordset. Operating range from -13 °F to 158 °F covers most factory floor conditions. The built-in LED indicator gives a quick visual on target presence during setup or fault-finding.
