Industrial 12 mm inductive sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1NAL2 is a shielded cylindrical proximity sensor with a 12 mm diameter and a 2 mm sensing range. It operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a 3-wire NPN normally-open output suitable for PLC inputs. The nickel-plated brass housing meets IP68 and IP69K ratings for harsh environments.
Sustained 5 kHz switching
Rated for a 5,000 Hz operating frequency, the sensor maintains consistent detection during continuous high-speed automation cycles without signal degradation. Its 200 mA maximum load capacity supports direct drive of typical relay coils or controller inputs across the full -13 to 158 °F temperature range. The 2 m integral cable eliminates connector failure points under vibration.
Replaces 2-wire or PNP units
This model upgrades installations that require NPN logic with a solid-state output, removing the leakage current and voltage drop inherent in 2-wire alternatives. It is not suited for applications needing a longer sensing distance or PNP sourcing output. The fixed cable length may not fit panels requiring connector-based modularity.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the XS512B1NAL2 generate when powered continuously at 24V DC?
At 24V DC the sensor draws up to 200mA, staying within the -13°F to 158°F operating range for the nickel-plated brass housing
What voltage supply must I already have for this NPN sensor to operate?
A 12 to 24V DC source is required for the 3-wire NPN output circuit
Will the 2mm sensing range and 5,000Hz switching work reliably with my existing 12mm shielded mounting brackets?
Yes, the 12mm shielded barrel fits standard brackets and the 2mm range with 5,000Hz frequency suits typical automation cycles
