Product identity
The Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1NAM12 is a 12 mm inductive proximity sensor with a 2 mm detecting distance and NPN normally-open output. It suits machine builders and maintenance engineers who need reliable metal detection in automated equipment.
Build and connections
A nickel-plated brass barrel measures 41 mm long and carries an M12 four-pin connector for quick wiring. The shielded design allows flush mounting, while IP67 and IP69K ratings plus NEMA 4X protect against water jets and dust in harsh environments.
Thermals and power
Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 degrees F, covering cold storage to hot process zones. The sensor draws up to 200 mA from a 12 to 24 V DC supply and switches at up to 5 000 Hz without active cooling or audible noise.
Highlights

Questions about this item
What DC voltage range does the XS512B1NAM12 inductive sensor require?
It operates on 12 to 24 V DC, so any supply within that window will power the sensor.
What thread size and body length must the mounting hole accommodate?
The sensor has a 12 mm diameter barrel and a 41 mm overall length, so the cut-out and bracket must clear those dimensions.
How do I wire the 4-pin M12 connector for the 3-wire NPN normally-open output?
Connect pin 1 to 12-24 V DC, pin 3 to ground, and pin 4 to the load; pin 2 is unused on this 3-wire device.
