Telemecanique Sensors XS108B3PAL2 Proximity Sensor M8

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS108B3PAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial control and automation applications. Built with an M8x1 threaded brass housing, this sensor operates on 12 to 24 volts DC and delivers a 2.5 mm nominal detection distance with a PNP normally open output configuration. The 3-wire cable connection makes it straightforward to integrate into standard PLC and control panel wiring. With a response frequency of 2,500 Hz, it handles high-cycle-rate detection tasks without missing targets, making it a dependable choice for machine builders, maintenance technicians, and industrial electricians.

This sensor is suited for residential and commercial machine control environments where accurate, reliable position or presence sensing is required. Typical installations include conveyor systems, packaging machinery, assembly line tooling, and automated equipment where metal part detection is needed. Its compact cylindrical form and M8 thread allow it to fit into tight mounting locations on machine frames and brackets. The IP65 and IP67 ingress protection ratings make it appropriate for wash-down areas and environments with dust or coolant exposure.

Key Features

• PNP normally open output with 3-wire cable connection for straightforward PLC integration
• Operates across 12 to 24 volts DC supply range
• Response frequency of 2,500 Hz supports high-speed detection cycles
• IP65 and IP67 rated brass housing resists dust, coolant, and wash-down conditions
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction for demanding machine environments
• Compliant with UL, CSA, RoHS, IEC 60068-2-27, IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60529, and IEC 60529 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit inductive proximity sensor for industrial control systems requiring an M8x1 cylindrical PNP sensor with 2.5 mm detection distance and 3-wire cable output.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by qualified industrial electricians or automation technicians. De-energize the control circuit and lock out the machine before mounting or wiring the sensor. The M8x1 thread allows secure mounting with standard nuts and brackets; avoid over-tightening to protect the brass housing. Verify supply voltage and output polarity against the control panel wiring diagram before powering the circuit.
