Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1PAM12 Inductive Proximity Sensor 12 mm
A 12 mm shielded inductive sensor detects metal at 2 mm with a 3‑wire PNP output and 4‑pin M12 connector
- Detects metal targets at 2 mm range
- Operates on 12 to 24 V DC supply
- Switches at 5,000 Hz for fast response
- Withstands wash-down with IP67 and IP69K ratings
- Functions from -13 °F to 158 °F environments
Industrial Detection Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS512B1PAM12 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation. It suits engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable non-contact metal detection in machinery and machine-shop environments. The 12 mm diameter housing fits standard mounting points, while the nickel-plated brass case resists wear in demanding conditions.
Shielded M12 Connector Benefits
The shielded construction and 4-pin M12 connector simplify installation and reduce electromagnetic interference in dense control cabinets. A 3-wire PNP output with normally-open logic integrates directly with common PLC input modules. IP67 and IP69K ratings plus NEMA 4X protection mean the sensor survives high-pressure washdowns and corrosive atmospheres without extra sealing hardware.
Range And Load Headroom
The sensor detects metal targets at up to 2 mm, making it suitable for close-range presence verification on conveyors, clamps and tooling. A 5,000 Hz operating frequency supports fast cycling equipment, while the 200 mA maximum load drives relays, indicators or PLC inputs directly. Operation from 12 to 24 V DC and a -13 °F to 158 °F temperature range give wide power-supply and environmental flexibility.

Questions about this item
How often will the 4-pin M12 connector need to be reseated or replaced?
The 4-pin M12 connector is a standard industrial interface; it only needs attention if physical damage or corrosion occurs on the nickel-plated brass housing.
At 5,000 Hz operating frequency, what limits continuous detection speed?
The 5,000 Hz switching frequency is the maximum sensing rate; sustained use at this speed is limited by the 200 mA load capacity and the target's ability to trigger within the 2 mm range.
Does the IP69K rating mean the sensor runs cooler during all-day operation?
IP69K and IP67 seal the housing against high-pressure wash-down and immersion; they do not change self-heating, which stays within the -13 °F to 158 °F operating range at 12–24 V DC.
