Schneider Electric XS612B1MBL2 Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS612B1MBL2 inductive proximity sensor is a cylindrical M12 device designed for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. Housed in nickel-plated brass, it is a normally closed (NC) sensor with a 2-wire AC/DC output and a wide rated voltage of 24–240 V AC or 24–210 V DC, supporting 5–200 mA. With a 4 mm sensing distance and flush-mount design, it uses a 2 m cable for easy integration in conveyors, packaging machines, assembly lines, and machine tools where reliable position sensing and object detection are required. The XS6 family emphasizes rugged performance, with IP68 and IP69K protection and operation at up to 25 Hz AC or 1000 Hz DC. This device is certified to CE, UL, and CSA and is commonly used by maintenance teams, OEMs, and system integrators for repair, replacement, retrofit, or new equipment integration in industrial automation systems.
