Inductive proximity sensor for 12 mm mount
The Telemecanique Sensors XS212SAPAM12 is an inductive cylindrical proximity sensor with a 12 mm barrel diameter and a 7 mm maximum detecting distance. It operates on 12 to 24 V DC and provides a 3-wire PNP normally-open output. The housing is 316L stainless steel, 41 mm long, and rated IP67 and IP69K for harsh environments.
4-pin M12 connector and unshielded sensing face
Electrical connection is made through a 4-pin M12 connector that plugs directly into a matching cordset or distribution box. The unshielded sensing face requires a metal-free zone around the head to avoid false triggers. A 200 mA maximum load rating means the output can drive small relays, PLC inputs or indicator lamps without an intermediate amplifier.
Suited for wash-down and high-temperature lines
The -13 °F to 185 °F operating range and NEMA 4X rating suit food-processing, pharmaceutical and outdoor machinery exposed to high-pressure cleaning. Builders who need a shielded sensor for flush mounting, an NPN output type, or a longer sensing distance should look at alternative models.

Questions about this item
At what distance does the 12 mm sensor stop detecting reliably under continuous operation?
The maximum detecting distance is 7 mm; objects beyond that range will not be sensed regardless of how long the unit runs.
How much heat does the stainless-steel housing reach when powered at 24 V DC all day?
The sensor is rated for an operating temperature range of -13 to 185 degrees F, so the housing will stay within those limits during continuous use.
Which mating cable or connector must I already have to wire the 4-pin M12 output?
A standard 4-pin M12 cable assembly is required to connect the PNP NO output to your control system.
