What the buyer is looking at
The Square D Sensors & Safety XS4P18NB340D is catalogued as a Limit Switch, with the Telemecanique XCRA51 body style and 240 Vac rating carried in the product-description string. The listing description reads the same order code twice — once as inductive sensor, once as Telemecanique XS4P18NB340D inductive sensor — so the part sits at the overlap of the Telemecanique XS inductive proximity family and the XCRA-style limit-switch range. The brand line is shown as Square D Sensors & Safety, which under the Schneider Electric umbrella is the Telemecanique Sensors commercial channel — relevant when cross-referencing spares against an existing Telemecanique XS bill of material.
Where this class is used
Limit switches in this Telemecanique XS / XCRA family are specified on moving-machine guards, conveyor position stops, and end-of-travel probes where a 240 Vac control circuit expects a dry-contact or sensor-style input. For panel-side wiring, treat the listed 240 Vac as the control-circuit reference and confirm the switching element variant against the device nameplate before commissioning.
