The XUM0APSAL2 is a miniature rectangular photoelectric sensor from the XUM series, featuring background suppression. It operates on 12-24V DC with a PNP output, rated for 14 m sensing distance, 2 ms response time, and 250 Hz switching frequency. The prewired 2 m cable simplifies installation in tight enclosures, and the IP65/IP67 ratings suit washdown environments. CE, CSA, and UL listings support cross-border acceptance.
Form-factor comparison: XUM0APSAL2 vs XU2M18AP20D
While both are PNP DC photoelectric sensors, the cylindrical XU2M18AP20D is a through-beam transmitter/receiver set (70 m, 15 ms response) with an M12 connector. The XUM0APSAL2 is rectangular, multimode with background suppression (14 m, 2 ms), and uses a 2 m cable. They are not mechanically or electrically interchangeable without rewiring and bracket changes.
