Telemecanique 12mm Inductive Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1NAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm diameter and a shielded 4 mm sensing range. It operates on 12 to 48V DC power and provides a 3-wire NPN normally open output. The nickel-plated brass body measures 41 mm in length and carries NEMA 4X, IP68 and IP69K ratings for harsh industrial environments. It suits machine builders and maintenance teams needing reliable metal detection.
Sustained Operation at 2500 Hz Switching
Rated for a 2,500 Hz operating frequency, the sensor maintains consistent detection during continuous high-speed cycling rather than only during brief test pulses. The 200 mA maximum load current remains stable across the -13 to 158 degrees F temperature span. Its shielded construction and IP68/IP69K sealing prevent ingress that would degrade signal integrity during prolonged exposure to coolant, washdown or vibration.
Simple 2m Cable Mounting
A fixed 2 m cable provides the electrical connection, eliminating separate connector purchases and reducing potential leak paths. The 3-wire NPN NO wiring follows standard industrial colour codes for straightforward integration into PLC input modules. Installers must verify the 12 to 48V DC supply limits and avoid exceeding the 200 mA load rating. The shielded 12 mm body allows flush mounting in metal brackets without affecting the 4 mm sensing distance.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 200 mA maximum load generate during continuous operation?
The sensor draws up to 200 mA at 12 to 48 V DC; heat rise depends on supply voltage and duty cycle, but the brass housing and IP68/IP69K sealing are rated for -13 °F to 158 °F ambient.
What supply voltage and wiring does the 3-wire NPN output require?
A 12 to 48 V DC source with three conductors — positive, negative and the NPN switching wire — connected via the 2 m pre-wired cable.
Will the 4 mm sensing range and 2.5 kHz switching speed work with my existing 12 mm mounting brackets?
The 12 mm threaded barrel fits standard M12 brackets; the 4 mm shielded range and 2.5 kHz frequency suit the same applications as earlier 12 mm inductive sensors.
