- Shielded inductive sensing for reliable detection in metal environments
- 12 mm cylindrical body fits compact mounting spaces
- 2 mm maximum sensing range with 4,000 Hz operating frequency
- IP68 and IP69K ratings withstand high-pressure washdown and immersion
- Nickel-plated brass housing operates from -13 °F to 158 °F
What this sensor is and who uses it
The Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1DAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm barrel diameter. It detects metal objects at a maximum distance of 2 mm and operates on 12 to 48V DC power. The shielded design allows flush mounting in metal fixtures. Automation engineers and maintenance technicians select this sensor for reliable presence detection in industrial machinery.
Behaviour under sustained load
The sensor runs at an operating frequency of 4,000 Hz, supporting continuous high-speed cycling without overheating. Its two-wire output circuit handles a maximum current load of 100 mA in normally open mode. A nickel-plated brass housing rated IP68 and IP69K resists water jets, high-pressure washdown and corrosion across an operating range of -13 to 158 degrees F.
The spec that decides fit
The 2 mm maximum detecting distance determines whether this sensor suits the application. If the target metal must be sensed from further away, a longer-range model is required. The 41 mm overall length and 2 m cable length also fix the mounting space and wiring reach needed for installation.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the XS512B1DAL2 generate when running continuously at 100 mA load?
The sensor operates from -13 to 158 °F and draws up to 100 mA at 12–48 V DC; continuous operation stays within this temperature range.
What power supply must I already have to connect the 2-wire output of this sensor?
A 12 to 48 V DC source capable of at least 100 mA is required for the 2-wire NO output.
Will the nickel-plated brass M12 body fit the same mounting holes as my older 12 mm shielded sensors?
Yes, the cylindrical 12 mm shielded housing with 41 mm length matches the standard mounting pattern for 12 mm inductive sensors.
