Schneider Electric XS608B1NAL2 Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS608B1NAL2 proximity sensor is a stainless-steel, M8-threaded inductive sensor designed for non-contact detection of metal objects in harsh industrial environments. As part of the XS6 family, it features a cylindrical M8 design with flush-mount capability, a 2 m cable, normally open (NO) operation, and a 3-wire NPN output powered by 12–48 V DC and up to 200 mA. The sensing distance is 2.5 mm, and the IP67-rated housing protects against dust and water exposure while enabling a switching frequency up to 2500 Hz. Common applications include packaging equipment, conveyor systems, assembly lines, and machine tools where reliable position sensing and object detection are required. Manufacturer: Schneider Electric / Telemecanique Sensors; common replacements include XS608B1NAM12, XS608B1PAL2, and XS108B3NAL2.
