Schneider Electric XS1L06PA3400 Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS1L06PA3400 is a compact inductive proximity sensor from the XS1 family that detects metal objects without physical contact, enabling precise position sensing in tight spaces. Designed as a cylindrical Ø6 mm device, it delivers non-contact switching with a 1 mm sensing distance and a 3-wire PNP output that is normally open, powered by 12–24 V DC and drawing up to 50 mA, with a 2 m cable for simple wiring. The nickel-plated brass housing carries IP66 protection for use in harsh industrial environments and supports reliable sensing in conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and machine tools where moving parts and workpieces require feedback signals. It is intended for maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators for repair, replacement, retrofit, or integration into new equipment, with certifications including CE, UL, and CSA. Common replacements include XS1L06PA140, XS108B3PAM12, and XS512B1PAL2.
