Telemecanique XS1M18PA370A Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Telemecanique XS1M18PA370A is a cylindrical M18 inductive proximity sensor used for non-contact detection of metal objects in industrial automation. It operates from 12–48 V DC with a 3-wire PNP normally open output, a 5 mm sensing distance, and a maximum output current of 200 mA. The nickel-plated brass housing supports flush mounting and carries an IP68 rating, with a cable connection and a rated frequency of 2000 Hz. Common applications include conveyors, packaging equipment, assembly lines, and machine tools for position sensing and object detection; common replacements are XS1M18PA371, XS118B1PAM12, and XS618B1PAM12.
