Specification Overview and Sourcing Fit
The Telemecanique XUB0BKSNM12T is a tubular photoelectric emitter from the XUB series, rated for a 20 m through-beam sensing distance. It operates on a 12 to 24 VDC supply and terminates in a 3-wire M12 4-pin DC micro male connector, making it a low-voltage, quick-connect emitter suitable for panels with a 24 VDC distribution bus. The enclosure meets IP67 and NEMA 4X/12 standards, and the housing is nickel-plated brass – fully compliant with the environmental requirements stated in the specification for washdown or mildly corrosive areas. The 2 ms response time covers high-speed object detection on conveyor lines or packaging machinery.
Cross-Reference Note: XU2M18MC230KT
A commonly encountered peer is the XU2M18MC230KT, also a through-beam emitter but with a 15 m range and operating on 24 to 240 VAC/VDC with a 1/2-20 UNF 3-pin connector. When specifying a replacement for a panel originally designed around the XU2M18MC230KT, verify that the control voltage is 24 VDC and that the mating cable is M12 4-pin before issuing the BOM line.
Lifecycle and Compliance Position
For tender documentation, the sensor holds UL, CSA, and CE approvals as specified, and the enclosure material (nickel-plated brass) and lens material (PMMA) are listed on the declaration.
Mounting and Wiring Notes
The emitter is a front-sensing device with a threaded barrel that mounts through a drilled hole with a locknut or bracket. The M12 male connector is integral.
