Flat-form inductive sensor for tight panel spaces
The XS7C1A1DBL5 is a 40x40x15 mm flat-form inductive proximity sensor from Schneider Electric's XS7 family — the low-profile body fits where a standard M18 or M30 barrel won't clear adjacent components or a panel door. Its 15 mm sensing range on mild steel defines the detection zone for part-present or position feedback; the flat face mounts flush or non-flush depending on the target material and the correction factor for stainless or aluminum.
Peer comparison — XS7E1A1PBL01M12
The closest functional sibling is the XS7E1A1PBL01M12, also a flat-form XS7 sensor but with a 10 mm sensing range, PNP NC output, and a 0.1 m pigtail with M12 connector — the XS7C1A1DBL5 uses a different output configuration and connection method, so verify the wiring and PLC input type before substituting.
