M18 barrel, 5 mm sensing, PNP NO
The XS1N18PC410DSCV is an M18 x 1 tubular inductive proximity sensor from Schneider Electric's Telemecanique Sensors line, with a 5 mm flush detection range on mild steel and a PNP normally-open output. The 5 mm sensing distance is typical for an M18 shielded sensor — it detects ferrous targets at that gap without needing a larger barrel, which matters when mounting space is tight on a bracket or manifold.
IP69K washdown rating — food and beverage line ready
Rated IP65, IP67, and IP69K, the sensor body and face seal withstand high-pressure hot-water washdown cycles common in food processing, beverage filling, and pharmaceutical packaging lines. The IP69K rating means the housing resists 80 °C water at 80-100 bar from a 4-nozzle spray pattern — a step above standard IP67 for environments where caustic cleaning agents and steam are routine. For a spare parts planner, this sensor replaces an older M18 inductive in a washdown zone without upgrading the mounting bracket or cable run, as long as the existing wiring supports PNP logic.
