Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1NAM12 Proximity Sensor M12

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS612B1NAM12 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial control and automation applications. Built around an M12 threaded brass housing, it provides a detection distance of 4 millimeters (0.16 inches) and operates on 12 to 48 volts DC. The NPN, normally-open output delivers a maximum load capacity of 200 milliamps with a response frequency of 2,500 Hz, making it well-suited for high-cycle machine control environments. Licensed electricians, automation technicians, and industrial maintenance professionals install this sensor type in control panels, conveyor systems, and machinery safeguarding circuits.

This sensor is suited for residential and light commercial automation as well as heavy industrial machine tool and process control environments where vibration, shock, and washdown exposure are common concerns. Its IP67 and IP69K ingress protection ratings allow it to withstand high-pressure water and dust infiltration. The M12 four-pin connector simplifies integration with standard control wiring harnesses. Typical installation scenarios include position detection on actuators, part-present sensing on assembly lines, and end-of-travel detection on pneumatic cylinders.

Key Features

• Shielded cylindrical M12 brass housing for flush mounting in metal sensor brackets
• 4 mm (0.16 inches) detection distance with 2,500 Hz response frequency for high-speed cycling
• NPN normally-open output, 12 to 48 volts DC, 200 mA maximum load
• IP67 and IP69K dual ingress protection ratings for washdown and immersion resistance
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6
• CE, CSA, UL Listed, and RoHS compliant for broad code acceptance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inductive proximity sensor for use with standard M12 four-pin control wiring harnesses in industrial automation and machine control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified automation technician. De-energize and lock out the control circuit before wiring. The M12 four-pin connector should be mated and torqued according to the connector manufacturer specifications to maintain the IP67 and IP69K seal rating. Verify output polarity and load compatibility with the receiving PLC or controller input card before commissioning.
