The Square D / Telemecanique XUB5APAWM12 is an 18 mm tubular diffuse photoelectric sensor with a PNP output, rated for 12 to 24 VDC and 100 mA load, sensing at 23.6 inches over infrared. It's a current-production part from the XUB family, listed as active in the lifecycle status. The response time is 1 ms on/off at the listed operating frequency of 500 Hz, making it suitable for moderate-speed object detection on a packaging or material-handling line. Enclosure rating is NEMA 4X/12 and IP67, covering washdown and dust ingress. The threaded PBT barrel and 90-degree side sensing position give flexibility in tight mounting arrangements. Connection is via a 4-pin M12 micro connector (3 wires used), which mates to standard quick-disconnect cables. The M12 pinout and PNP output match many common PLC input cards.
