M18 flush-mount inductive sensor, PNP NO/NC, 0.2 in range
The XS1N18PC410D is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor from the Schneider Electric Osisense XS1 series, built for flush mounting in metal. It detects ferrous targets at 0.2 in (5 mm) through a PPS sensing face, with a switching frequency of 2000 Hz — fast enough for counting or position verification on a moderate-speed conveyor or indexing station. Output is PNP with both NO and NC contacts available from the 4-wire, 4-pin M12 connector. Operating on 12 to 24 VDC and switching up to 200 mA, it sinks directly into a PLC input module without an interposing relay.
IP65/67/69K — washdown-ready in a nickel-plated brass barrel
The nickel-plated brass housing and IP65/67/69K enclosure rating mean this sensor handles high-pressure, high-temperature washdown cycles common in food-and-beverage or heavy-washdown environments. The IP69K rating specifically covers steam-jet cleaning at 80 °C and 100 bar — the sealing is at the connector O-ring and the sensing face, not just the barrel threads. Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 °F (-25 to 70 °C), covering most indoor industrial and outdoor sheltered installations. The PPS sensing face resists chemical attack from cleaning agents better than standard ABS or polyamide faces.
Approvals and compliance — UL, CSA, CE, TUV, E2, RoHS
The applicable standard is EN/IEC 60947-5-2 for proximity switches, with functional safety reference to EN/ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 for integration into safety-related control systems. RoHS compliant and carries a California Proposition 65 warning for the nickel-plated brass material — standard for metal-bodied sensors sold into that market.
