Block-style inductive proximity sensor for metal target detection
The XS8C4A4MPG13 is a block/rectangular inductive proximity sensor from Schneider Electric's Telemecanique line, designed to detect the presence of metal targets without physical contact. Rated for 264V and 200mA, this sensor fits into control circuits where the load is a PLC input or a small relay coil — the 200mA switching capacity handles standard 24V DC loads with margin.
Lifecycle and sourcing posture for BOM planning
For contract-manufacturing buyers, this part sits on the Schneider Electric catalog with no documented obsolescence notice — the BOM line is stable for ongoing builds.
264V 200mA rating — what it means for the control loop
The 264V rating covers most industrial control voltages (120V, 230V, 240V AC) with a safety margin above the nominal supply — the sensor's internal electronics are isolated for that peak. At 200mA switching capacity, the output can drive multiple PLC input modules in parallel or a medium-sized contactor coil, but not a direct motor load — that would exceed the solid-state output rating.
