Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1PAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor 8mm PNP NO
Detects metal at 1.5 mm range with 12–24 V DC supply, shielded 8 mm brass body, PNP NO output, IP67 and NEMA 4X rated
- 8 mm sensing range detects metal targets at 1.5 mm
- PNP normally-open output simplifies PLC wiring with 3-wire connection
- IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings protect against dust and water ingress
- Nickel-plated brass housing withstands -13 °F to 158 °F operating temperatures
- 2 m pre-wired cable and 5 kHz switching frequency suit fast automation cycles
Product identity
The Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1PAL2 is an inductive cylindrical proximity sensor with an 8 mm barrel and a 1.5 mm maximum detecting distance. It operates on 12 to 24V DC power and provides a 3 wire PNP normally open output. The unit is built for machinery and machine shop applications.
Wiring and protection
A two metre cable is permanently attached for direct electrical connection without extra connectors. The nickel plated brass case carries an IP67 rating and NEMA 4X rating for resistance to water ingress and corrosion. Operating frequency reaches 5 000 Hz and the maximum current load is 200mA.
Suitability
This sensor suits automated lines that need a shielded 8 mm inductive probe with PNP NO signalling and a fixed cable. Buyers who require a longer sensing range, a different output type, or a connectorised housing should look at alternative models.

Questions about this item
Does the nickel-plated brass case or the 2 m cable need routine replacement?
The sensor body is solid nickel-plated brass and the 2 m cable is permanently moulded; neither is designed as a user-replaceable part.
What limits continuous operation at the 5 000 Hz switching rate?
The 200 mA maximum load current is the first limit reached; exceeding it will trip the output before the 5 000 Hz frequency becomes a constraint.
How much heat does the unit add inside an IP67 enclosure when running all day?
At 24 V DC the sensor draws only the current needed by the load up to 200 mA, so its own dissipation stays low even during constant operation.
