Schneider Electric XS1-N12NA340 Proximity Switch

The Schneider Electric XS1-N12NA340 is an inductive proximity switch (M12 cylindrical sensor) that provides non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation systems. Manufactured by Schneider Electric / Telemecanique, it features a normally open (NO) contact, a 3‑wire NPN output, and is rated for 12–24 V DC with a maximum current of 200 mA. The sensing distance is 2 mm, and the unit uses a nickel-plated brass housing with an M12 threading for flush mounting and a 2 m cable. With an IP67 protection rating, it is built for industrial environments. Applications include conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and machine tools where reliable position sensing and object detection are required. The XS1-N12NA340 is commonly used by maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators for repair, replacement, retrofit, or new equipment integration, and is part of the XS1 family.
