Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1MAU20 Inductive Proximity Sensor 12 mm
12 mm cylindrical inductive sensor detects metal at 4 mm, runs on 24–240 V AC/DC with a 2-wire NO output, and withstands IP67/IP69K in nickel-plated brass
- 4 mm max detecting distance for close-range sensing
- 24–240 V AC/DC supply suits wide voltage ranges
- IP67 and IP69K ratings withstand wash-down environments
- Shielded 12 mm cylindrical body enables flush mounting
- 2-wire NO output simplifies wiring installation
What This Sensor Is
The Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1MAU20 is a shielded inductive proximity sensor built in a 12 mm nickel-plated brass cylinder. It detects metal targets at up to 4 mm and operates on a wide 24 to 240V AC/DC supply. The 3-pin 1/2-20 UNF male connector and normally-open two-wire output suit standard industrial wiring. NEMA 4X and IP67/IP69K ratings allow use in wash-down and outdoor environments.
When To Choose This Over Alternatives
This model replaces older limit switches or non-shielded sensors where flush mounting and resistance to metal chips are required. The 25 Hz AC and 1000 Hz DC switching frequencies support fast cycling on conveyors or packaging lines. The jump is worth it when you need a single device that handles both AC and DC control voltages without a separate power supply. It is not for applications requiring analogue distance output or detection of non-metallic materials.
Capacity And Limits
The 4 mm sensing range gives reliable detection of ferrous targets in tight machine frames. The -13 to 158 °F operating range covers unheated plants and hot-process zones. The 41 mm body length fits shallow mounting holes. Headroom ends when target distance exceeds 4 mm, when switching speed must exceed 1000 Hz DC, or when the environment demands submersion beyond the IP69K rating.

Questions about this item
What thread size does the 1/2-20 UNF connector need for mounting?
The sensor uses a 1/2-20 UNF male connector; match a female port with the same thread pitch for a secure fit.
Which wiring step is critical for the 2-wire output circuit?
Connect the two wires in series with the load so the sensor switches the supply; reversing them prevents operation.
How often should the nickel-plated brass housing be inspected in IP69K wash-down areas?
Check the housing and connector seals quarterly; replace the sensor if corrosion or cracked plating appears.
