The XS130B3PAM12 is a current-production Telemecanique inductive sensor from the XS1 series. It's an M30 threaded cylindrical unit with a shielded sensing face, PNP output, normally open contact, and a 4-pin M12 connector. Rated for 12-24 VDC supply, it detects ferrous targets up to 15 mm. Three built-in protections — overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit — make it a robust choice for industrial environments where wiring mistakes or transient faults are common. The brass body with nickel plating adds corrosion resistance for washdown or outdoor installs.
Compared to the XSD series (e.g., XSDH603629), the XS130 is a fixed-range 15 mm shielded unit with a simple PNP NO switch, while the XSDH is an analog output sensor (0-16 mA or 4-20 mA) with a cable connection. Different application — don't substitute without rethinking the control loop.
Compliance coverage includes CE, CSA, and UL Listed, satisfying North American and European documentation requirements. No RoHS or REACH statements appear directly in the spec; confirm with your compliance team if required for import.
Physical and wiring notes
M30 threaded body. Overall height 55 mm from sensing face to the M12 connector face. Cable or cordset with a 4-pin M12 female connector mates directly. IP65/IP67 rating means it handles high-pressure washdown and temporary immersion. The shielded sensing face allows flush mounting in metal without derating the sensing distance, which stays at the full 15 mm even when flush in steel.
