It delivers a 5 mm sensing range with a PNP normally open output and operates on 12 to 24 volts DC, making it compatible with standard industrial control circuits. With a response frequency of 2,500 Hz, it handles high-speed detection applications without missing target events. Rated IP67, the sensor resists dust ingress and temporary water immersion. Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction makes it suitable for demanding machine environments. Licensed electricians and automation technicians are the typical installers for this device.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensor is used in industrial automation, manufacturing equipment, and machine tool applications where reliable detection of ferrous and non-ferrous metal targets is required. Its M18 threaded barrel body allows straightforward mounting in standard sensor brackets or drilled housings. The four-pin M12 connector provides a secure, industry-standard wiring interface commonly found on PLCs, relay modules, and safety controllers in both light and heavy manufacturing settings. It is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of existing M18 inductive sensors in similar control architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 mm detection distance for consistent non-contact metal target sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePNP normally open output compatible with standard sourcing input modules\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 to 24 volt DC operating range suits a wide range of industrial control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2,500 Hz response frequency supports high-cycle-rate detection applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP67 ingress protection rating for resistance to dust and water immersion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrass M18 cylindrical housing with shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour-pin M12 connector for secure, field-serviceable wiring connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation inductive proximity sensor for industrial control systems using M18 threaded barrel sensors with four-pin M12 connectors and PNP output configurations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines and the equipment manufacturer's wiring diagrams. De-energize all associated control circuits and confirm zero voltage before making or breaking any connections. The M18 threaded body should be secured in a properly sized bracket or threaded bore; avoid over-torquing the housing, which can damage the sensor body or shift the sensing face. Confirm output polarity and load current do not exceed 100 milliamps before commissioning the circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inductive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylinder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetection Distance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: PNP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e: Normally Open (NO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12 volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 milliamps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponse Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2,500 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Four-Pin M12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Wires\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 64 mm (approximately 2.5 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 mm (approximately 0.7 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: IP67\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -13 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: 158 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: CE Listed, CSA Certified, IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60068-2-7, IEC 60529, RoHS Compliant, UL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: XS118BLPAM12\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700163150130,"sku":"XS118BLPAM12","price":76.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/a4721cf8d688dbc3a1babd2700685ae5.jpg?v=1788386966","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/telemecanique-sensors-xs118blpam12-proximity-sensor-m18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
