- 13 °F to 158 °F operating range handles harsh environments
8 mm inductive sensor for machine automation
The Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1NAL2 is a shielded cylindrical proximity switch designed to detect metal targets at 1.5 mm. It operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a 3-wire NPN normally-open output rated for 200 mA. The nickel-plated brass housing meets NEMA 4X and IP67 for wash-down environments.
Stable switching at 5 000 Hz under continuous
The sensor maintains its 5 000 Hz operating frequency during sustained, rapid target passage without thermal derating. A 41 mm body length and -13 to 158 °F temperature range keep timing consistent across long production shifts. The 2 m integral cable eliminates connector fatigue that can cause intermittent signals.
DC 3-wire interface limits cable runs
The NPN output requires a compatible sinking input and a shared 12 to 24V DC supply, restricting use to DC control systems. Voltage drop across long cable runs can reduce noise margin, so the 2 m lead sets a practical distance limit. The 200 mA ceiling excludes direct drive of larger contactors or lamps without an interposing relay.

Questions about this item
Does the 12 to 24V DC supply run hot or draw much power when the sensor operates continuously?
The sensor draws a maximum load of 200mA at 12 to 24V DC, so continuous operation produces minimal heat and low power consumption.
What voltage source and wiring must I already have to connect the 3-wire NPN output?
You need a 12 to 24V DC supply and a 3-wire cable run to your PLC or controller input module.
Will the 1.5 mm sensing range and 5,000 Hz switching speed work with my existing 8 mm mounting brackets?
The M8 threaded barrel fits standard 8 mm brackets, and the 1.5 mm shielded range avoids interference from surrounding metal.
