Schneider Electric XS1N12PA340D Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS1N12PA340D proximity sensor delivers precise, non-contact metal detection for industrial automation in a compact, cylindrical M12 package designed for flush mounting. As part of the XS1 family, this inductive proximity sensor features a normally open (NO) switch, PNP 3-wire output, and a 12–24 V DC supply, with a 2 mm sensing distance and a 200 mA maximum current, making it suitable for monitoring moving parts and position feedback on conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and machine tools. Constructed with a brass housing and IP67 protection, it uses a 4-pin M12 connection and offers up to 1000 Hz switching frequency for reliable performance in demanding environments. Common replacements include XS512B1PAM12, XS1N12PA340, and XS212B3PAM12, and it’s supported by safety and quality certifications such as CE, UL, and CSA.
