Product details

It detects metallic targets up to 40 mm away without physical contact, making it a fit for part-present sensing, limit-switch replacement, or position feedback in automated machinery. The unshielded face allows a longer range than a shielded version, but requires a non-metallic zone around the sensing face to avoid false triggers. Supply voltage spans 24–240 V AC or DC, so it works with both AC and DC control circuits without a voltage converter. Output is a 2-wire NO contact rated to switch 300 mA. Rated IP65, IP67, and IP69K, the PBT housing and 1/2 inch connector stand up to high-pressure washdown — food, beverage, and car-wash environments. The green LED gives a visual on-target confirmation at a glance.

Compliance documentation includes CCC, CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listing. The UL mark simplifies acceptance in North American panels; CE and CCC cover European and Chinese machinery export.

Rectangular body measures 40 x 40 x 70 mm (W x D x H) with a 1/2 inch connector. Two-wire NO output, unshielded, 40 mm sensing distance — keep face clear of metal by at least 40 mm.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest functional second-source — does the XS8D1A1MAL2 drop in?

The XS8D1A1MAL2 is a shielded sibling with a 60 mm sensing distance, no LED, and a 2 m cable instead of a connector. It cannot drop in without considering mounting: the unshielded XS8C2A4MAU20 needs a non-metallic zone around its face, while the shielded version can be flush-mounted in metal. Wiring (2-wire NO) and supply voltage are the same, but the connector vs. cable difference requires a different cordset.

What are the key specifications of the XS8C2A4MAU20?

Inductive, unshielded, 40 mm sensing distance, 2-wire NO output rated 300 mA, supply 24–240 V AC/DC, IP65/IP67/IP69K, PBT housing, 1/2 inch connector, green LED, operating temperature -13 to +158 °F.

What compliance certifications does this sensor carry?

CCC, CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listed. These cover Chinese, European, Canadian, and US regulatory requirements.
