- NPN normally-open output suits 12 to 24 V DC controls
- IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings withstand water and dust
- Nickel-plated brass housing endures -13 to 158 °F
- 3 000 Hz switching frequency supports fast automation cycles
8 mm Inductive Sensor for Industrial Detection
The Telemecanique Sensors XS208BLNAL2 is an unshielded inductive proximity sensor designed for machine builders and maintenance teams who need reliable metal detection at close range. Its 8 mm cylindrical brass housing fits standard mounting holes on conveyors, packaging lines and automation cells. The sensor operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a normally open NPN output for simple PLC integration.
Nickel Plated Brass Housing with IP67 and NEMA 4X
The case is made from nickel plated brass measuring 41 mm in length and is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, so it withstands wash-down, coolant splash and dust ingress in harsh shop environments. A fixed 2 m cable exits the body, removing the need for a separate connector and reducing potential leak paths. The unshielded design allows side approach of the target but requires clearance from surrounding metal to avoid false triggers.
3-Wire NPN Output and 3,000 Hz Switching
The three wire NPN normally open output delivers up to 100 mA load current, compatible with common PLC input cards without extra relays. A switching frequency of 3,000 Hz supports fast cycling applications such as part counting or position verification on high speed lines. Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 degrees F, covering cold storage to engine bay conditions. The sensor is not suited for applications needing longer sensing distances or shielded mounting flush in metal.

Questions about this item
What does the 12 to 24V DC power requirement mean for wiring this sensor?
The sensor operates on any DC supply between 12 V and 24 V, so it can share a common rail with other 24 V field devices without a separate regulator.
Will the M8 unshielded barrel fit through a standard 8 mm panel cutout?
The nickel-plated brass barrel is 8 mm in diameter and 41 mm long; an 8 mm clearance hole is sufficient, but allow extra depth for the 2 m cable exit.
Which wire is the load on the 3-wire NPN cable?
On the 2 m cable the black wire is the NPN output (load to +V), blue is 0 V and brown is +V; connecting the load to the blue wire is the common mistake.
