Product details

Fit and function

The XS118B3PAM12: Cylindrical inductive proximity sensor from the XS1 series, built-in M12 connector, shielded sensing face, 8 mm maximum sensing distance. Output is PNP normally open, rated 12-24 VDC. Body is nickel-plated brass rated IP65/IP67, so it handles washdown environments without a separate enclosure. Three protection circuits are integrated: overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit. That means you can skip the external fuse or clamping diode for most inductive loads—the sensor shuts down instead of burning out.

Frequently asked questions

What is the series for this sensor?

It belongs to the XS1 series of cylindrical inductive proximity sensors.

What protection features does it include?

Overload protection, reverse polarity protection, and short circuit protection are built in.

Will it drop into a panel designed around XS9E11RPBL01M12?

No. The XS9E11RPBL01M12 is a plastic rectangular block with NC output and remote M12 cable; this part is a cylindrical brass body with NO output and a built-in M12 connector. The mounting and wiring differ.
