Schneider Electric XS7-C40PC440H7 Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS7-C40PC440H7 inductive proximity sensor is a rugged, 4‑wire PNP device with a 40 mm sensing distance, designed for non-contact detection of metallic parts in heavy‑duty industrial environments. Housed in a rectangular thermoplastic body with IP67 protection and powered from 12–48 V DC via a cable connection, it delivers reliable switching with one normally open and one normally closed output, capable of up to 200 mA. This position sensing and object detection sensor is commonly installed on conveyor lines, packaging machines, assembly equipment, and material handling systems to monitor moving workpieces and control automated sequences without physical contact. It is part of Schneider Electric’s XS7 family and is suitable for repair, retrofit, or new equipment integration where long‑range metal detection and robust ingress protection are required. Common replacements include XS8C4A4PCN12.
