Physical form factor and integration
The XS1M30AB120: 54 mm threaded barrel body — the M30 thread size is standard for inductive proximity sensors in industrial mounting brackets and weld-field applications where the barrel must pass through a panel or bracket hole.
Peer comparison — XS1M18MB250K
The closest peer in the XS series is the XS1M18MB250K, an 18 mm barrel sensor with UL, CSA, CE approvals and IP68 enclosure rating — suitable for washdown environments where the 54 mm XS1M30AB120 may not carry the same ingress protection. The XS1M18MB250K offers a 5 mm sensing distance on shielded flush mounting, versus the larger barrel of the XS1M30AB120 which typically supports a longer sensing range — the choice between them is driven by the mounting hole diameter and the required detection distance.
