Integrator note
XUB0BNSNM12 is an 18mm M12-connected photoelectric sensor from the Telemecanique XUB series. It operates on 12 to 24 VDC and provides an NPN (sinking) output configurable as NO or NC. The sensor head supports four detection modes — diffuse (30 cm), background suppression (12 cm), polarized retroreflective (2 m), and through-beam (15 m) — allowing one hardware platform to cover multiple sensing tasks. The 2 ms on/off response and 250 Hz switching frequency are adequate for moderate-speed counting and positioning on conveyors or packaging lines.
PNP sibling comparison
The closest sibling is XUB0BPSNM12 — identical in every way except output polarity: XUB0BNSNM12 is NPN, XUB0BPSNM12 is PNP. Barrel diameter (18 mm), connector (M12 4-pin male), sensing distances, response time, switching frequency, environmental rating (NEMA 4X/12, IP67), enclosure material, and approvals all match. If your existing panel wiring expects a sourcing (PNP) input, this NPN version will not drive that input directly without a converter or reconfiguration of the input card.
Environmental and mounting
Rated NEMA 4X/12 and IP67, nickel-plated brass housing, PMMA lens. Operating temperature -13 to 131 °F, 18 mm threaded barrel, M12 4-pin connector, 3-wire.
