Overview
The XS1M18MA250K is a Schneider OsiSense XS inductive proximity sensor in a shielded M18 nickel-plated brass barrel, rated for 5 mm flush sensing distance and a 2-wire NO output. It operates on 24 to 240 VAC or 24 to 210 VDC, switching loads up to 300 mA AC or 200 mA DC, and carries UL, CSA, and CE approvals with an IP68 enclosure.
How it compares
Compared to the XS1M30MA250K, the XS1M18MA250K uses a smaller 18 mm barrel and a shorter 5 mm sensing distance versus 10 mm, so it fits tighter panel layouts but requires closer target proximity.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The XS1M18MA250K is an active Schneider catalogue item; lead time is typically quoted per RFQ, and no obsolescence notice is recorded for this build code.
