Schneider Electric XS1N12NA349 Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS1N12NA349 proximity sensor is an inductive, cylindrical M12 device designed for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation, featuring a flush-mount design and a nickel-plated brass housing. It operates at 12–24 V DC with a 3-wire NPN configuration, normally open contact, up to 200 mA, and a 4 mm sensing distance, delivered via a 2 m cable. The sensor is rated IP68 and IP69K for durability in conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and material handling where reliable object detection and position feedback are required. As part of the XS1 family from Schneider Electric / Telemecanique, it carries CE, UL, and CSA certifications, with common replacements including XS1N12NA340, XS512B1NAL2, and XS612B1NAM12.
