Sensor identity and current production status
The Schneider Electric XUY250NC2H03M8 is a tubular reflex/reflective photoelectric sensor from the Telemecanique XUY series. It is listed as current production, meaning the manufacturer still supports this order code for new builds and MRO replacements.
What the tubular reflex form factor means for installation
The tubular reflex (retroreflective) design uses a separate reflector — the sensor and reflector are mounted opposite each other, with the beam bounced back. This simplifies wiring compared to through-beam pairs since only one device needs power and signal cabling, while still providing reliable detection across a moderate gap. The M8 threaded barrel mounts through a single drilled hole, common in conveyor and material-handling frames.
Sourcing and ordering posture
As a current-production part, the XUY250NC2H03M8 is sourced through authorized distribution channels. Quantities are quoted against the BOM; availability and pricing confirmed at RFQ.
