Schneider Electric XS608B1PAM12 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS608B1PAM12 is an XS6 family, M8 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. It features a normally open (NO), 3‑wire PNP output with 12–24 V DC supply, a 1.5 mm sensing distance, and a 200 mA maximum current rating, plus a 4‑pin M12 connector, making it suitable for packaging equipment, conveyors, and assembly lines where reliable position feedback is required. The nickel-plated brass housing is IP67-rated and designed for flush mounting, carries CE, UL, and CSA certifications, and operates at up to 1000 Hz switching frequency. Manufactured by Schneider Electric (Telemecanique Sensors), this sensor supports repair, retrofit, or new equipment integration, with common replacements including XS608B1PAL2, XS608B1PBL2, and XS108BLPAM12.
