What it is and where it drops in the line
The Square D / Telemecanique XS4P30PA370L2 is an OsiSense XS inductive proximity sensor in a threaded 30 mm plastic barrel, built as a front-sensing, unshielded tubular detector with a PPS sensing face and a 10 m PVC pigtail — the same form factor that drops into a standard 30 mm panel cut or bracket on a conveyor, pallet-stop, or filling station.
Headline electrical envelope
Sensing distance is 15 mm on the front face from an unshielded head, which is roughly double what a shielded 30 mm barrel typically delivers and is the headline reason buyers reach for the XS4P30PA370L2 over shorter-range shielded cousins in the same 30 mm form factor — but the unshielded face needs the usual lateral clearance around the target. The enclosure rating of NEMA 3 / 4X / 6P / 12 / 13 and IP68 means the body will take immersion and high-pressure washdown, and the operating window of −13 to 176 °F covers cold-storage and hot-process-side mounting without a separate heater or shroud.
Approvals and compliance disclosure
The part carries UL, CSA, and CE approvals, which clears it for North American industrial panels and the EU CE-marked machinery path without a separate submittal package. The listing carries a California Proposition 65 warning for Diisononyl phthalate (DINP) and Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) exposure from the cable / plastic body — a paperwork line to include in the panel-builder's regulatory bundle rather than a performance concern.
Sourcing posture
The normalized lifecycle field reads current, so the XS4P30PA370L2 is still being manufactured through the standard Telemecanique / Square D channel — quote it into the BOM against an RFQ when the line goes down or the spare rack needs restocking.
