Schneider Electric XS612B1PAL5 Inductive Proximity Switch

The Schneider Electric XS612B1PAL5 inductive proximity switch provides non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation, with a 4 mm sensing distance and a PNP, 3‑wire output. Housed in nickel-plated brass in a cylindrical M12 design, it is flush-mountable and rated for 12–48 V DC, up to 200 mA, with a 5 m cable. This XS6 family sensor from Schneider Electric / Telemecanique Sensors features normally open operation, IP68/IP69K protection, switching frequency 2500 Hz, and a fast 0.2 ms response time, ideal for packaging equipment, conveyor systems, assembly lines, and mobile machinery where reliable position sensing is required. Common replacements include XS612B1PAM12, XS612B1PAL2, and XS612B1PBM12.
