- Nickel-plated brass housing withstands -13 °F to 158 °F operating temperatures
8 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS608B1PAL2 is an 8 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation and machinery monitoring. It detects metal targets at a maximum distance of 2.5 mm using a 3-wire PNP output that switches normally open. The nickel-plated brass housing meets IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings for harsh environments.
Power and Mounting Checks
Verify that your control system supplies 12 to 48V DC and can accept a 200 mA PNP load before ordering. The sensor requires a shielded mounting arrangement to maintain its specified sensing range. Confirm that the 2 m pre-wired cable length and 41 mm body length fit within your available installation space and cable routing.
Upgrade from Non-Shielded or Lower-Rated Units
This sensor replaces non-shielded models where metal chips or adjacent surfaces cause false triggering, and it upgrades from devices lacking IP67 or NEMA 4X protection in wash-down or outdoor applications. The jump is worth it when you need reliable detection at 2.5 mm in the presence of coolant, oil, or wide temperature swings from -13 to 158 degrees F.

Questions about this item
Does the XS608B1PAL2 sensor ship with a mounting bracket, or must that be purchased separately?
The sensor is supplied with a 2 m cable and a nickel-plated brass case; no bracket is included, so a compatible mounting bracket must be sourced separately.
Should I choose the shielded 8 mm version or an unshielded alternative for flush mounting in metal?
The XS608B1PAL2 is shielded and rated for flush mounting in metal, with a 2.5 mm maximum detecting distance at 2,500 Hz switching frequency.
What does the 2.5 mm detecting distance mean when the sensor is installed on a production line?
It will reliably detect a standard metal target at up to 2.5 mm, operating on 12–48 V DC with a 200 mA PNP normally-open output and IP67 protection.
