Product details

Overview

The XU2M18AP20D is a Schneider XU2 through-beam photoelectric sensor set — transmitter and receiver in one order code — rated for a 70 m sensing distance on a 12-24V DC supply with a PNP output. Housed in an M18 threaded metal barrel sealed to IP67, it switches at 30 Hz with a 15 msec response time and terminates in a 4-pin M12 connector.

Against the XUB1APANM12 retroreflective sensor, the XU2M18AP20D delivers a 70 m through-beam range versus 5.5 m, but switches at 30 Hz versus 500 Hz — pick the XU2 for long-axis alignment gates and the XUB for high-speed retroreflective detection on conveyors.

The XU2M18AP20D is a current Schneider catalogue sensor; lead time is typically short, and an RFQ confirms availability for the exact build variant.

Frequently asked questions

What is the sensing range, output type, and pinout of the XU2M18AP20D?

Engineers and installers must confirm PNP diffuse 20cm behavior and M12 pin assignment before wiring to a PLC input card.

What supply voltage, load current, and switching capacity does the XU2M18AP20D support?

Power and controls engineers need 10–30 VDC ratings, max load current, and inductive-load handling to size supplies and protection.

How do you wire the XU2M18AP20D to a PLC and what M12 connector pinout is used?

Panel builders and controls engineers need a clear wiring diagram and pin map to terminate the M12 cable without damaging the sensor or PLC card.

What are the dimensional, mounting, and IP rating specifications for the XU2M18AP20D?

Mechanical fit, tightening torque, and IP67/IP65 rating determine panel cut-out, gasket choice, and washdown suitability.

What are equivalent or replacement sensors for the XU2M18AP20D if it is obsolete or out of stock?

Sourcing, MRO, and maintenance teams need form-fit-function PNP diffuse M18 alternatives before stocking spares or doing field swaps.

What is the current lifecycle status, authorized distributor stock, and pricing for the XU2M18AP20D?

Buyers and brokers need active vs EOL status, real distributor availability, and MOQ to decide between authorized purchase and surplus allocation.
