Part identity and sourcing posture
The Telemecanique XS7C1A1PBL2 is an inductive proximity sensor under the Square D Sensors & Safety brand, a category that detects metallic objects without physical contact in automated machinery and conveyor lines.
What the category means for fit
As an inductive proximity sensor, the XS7C1A1PBL2 detects ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets within its rated sensing range — no physical contact, no moving parts to wear. This class is standard for end-of-travel, part-presence, and position feedback on pneumatic cylinders, transfer rails, and indexing tables. The sensing face and body are sealed against washdown and coolant splash. Mounts via the standard bracket or through-hole in a machine frame.
Current lifecycle stage means the manufacturer continues to produce this order code; no PCN or LTB is active.
