8 mm Inductive Sensor for Industrial Automation
The Telemecanique Sensors XS608B1NAM12 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for machine-shop and automation tasks. It detects metal targets at 2.5 mm through a shielded 8 mm barrel. The 3-wire NPN output switches normally open, suited for PLC inputs and simple control circuits. Nickel-plated brass housing meets IP67 and NEMA 4X for wet, dusty environments.
Upgrade from 5 mm or Unshielded Units
Moving from a 5 mm barrel gains the 2.5 mm sensing range without increasing mount diameter. Switching from an unshielded model allows flush mounting in metal brackets without false triggers. The 2,500 Hz operating frequency supports faster cycle rates than typical 1 kHz sensors. The jump is worth it when machine density demands flush fit and reliable detection at speed.
M12 Connector Simplifies Wiring
A 4-pin M12 connector mates with standard cordsets, eliminating soldering and reducing install time. Verify the supply sits between 12 and 48 V DC and that load current stays under 200 mA. Common issues include reversing NPN polarity or exceeding the -13 °F to 158 °F temperature window. The 62 mm overall length fits most standard sensor blocks.

Questions about this item
Will the 8 mm barrel and 62 mm length fit through my existing mounting hole?
The sensor has an 8 mm cylindrical body and is 62 mm long, so it fits an M8 clearance hole and needs at least 62 mm of depth behind the panel.
How do I wire the 4-pin M12 connector for the 3-wire NPN output?
Connect pins 1 and 3 to 12–48 V DC supply, pin 4 to the load, and leave pin 2 unused; the NPN output pulls the load to ground when the target enters the 2.5 mm sensing range.
When should I expect to replace the sensor given the IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings?
The IP67 and NEMA 4X housing resists water and dust ingress, so replacement is only needed if the nickel-plated brass case is physically damaged or the 200 mA output stage fails after extended use.
