The Telemecanique XS618B2NAL01M12 inductive proximity sensor is a cylindrical M18, nickel-plated brass device that non‑contactly detects metal objects in industrial automation, ideal for packaging machines, conveyors, and assembly lines. It uses a normally open, 3‑wire NPN output (M12, 4‑pin) powered from 12–48 V DC with a 200 mA maximum, and a sensing distance of 8 mm, plus a flush‑mount design and IP68/IP69K protection, achieving fast 0.3 ms response and up to 1000 Hz switching. Certified to CE, UL, and CSA, it serves as a common replacement for XS618B1NAM12 and related XS6 family sensors.
