What this sensor is and where it fits
Telemecanique XUX9APANM12 is a compact rectangular polarized retroreflective photoelectric sensor from the XUX series. It provides a sensing distance of 11 m with a PNP normally open output, switching up to 100 mA. The 12 to 24 VDC supply powers the solid-state output with a 2 ms response time and 250 Hz operating frequency – fast enough for counting and position detection on a conveyor or packaging line. Rated IP67 and NEMA 1/3/4/13, the PBT body withstands washdown, dust, and occasional oil splash. The 4-pin micro DC connector (M12) mates with standard sensor cables; no special wiring required.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The XUX9APANM12 is a current-production item, so lead times are stable through our multi-source channel. We quote to order; submit an RFQ with your required quantity and target delivery. No last-time-buy or obsolescence concerns on this part.
How it compares to the nearest sibling
The XUK9APBNM12 (also polarized retroreflective) differs more substantially: 5 m range, NEMA 4/4X/12/13 / IP65, and a larger 50×50 mm body. Not a cross-shop candidate unless your panel footprint and range requirement shift.
Compliance and documentation note for the procurement file
Listed approvals include UL, CSA, and CE. The sensor carries a California Proposition 65 warning; no RoHS or REACH declaration appears on the spec record – verify with a full datasheet if your BOM requires those statements. The part ships with a green power LED and yellow output LED for on-site diagnostics.
