Industrial Proximity Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS618B1PAL2 is an 18 mm inductive proximity sensor built for machine-shop and automation tasks. It detects metal targets up to 8 mm away and operates on 12 to 48V DC power. The three-wire PNP output switches normally open, making it suited for PLC input modules and simple control circuits.
Sealed Housing and Low Heat
A nickel-plated brass barrel rated IP68 and IP69K resists high-pressure washdown and prolonged immersion. NEMA 4X rating adds corrosion protection for harsh chemical environments. The sensor draws a maximum of 200 mA and runs at 1,000 Hz, so self-heating stays minimal across the -13 to 158 °F operating range.
Fixed Cable and Shielded Mount
A 2 m pre-wired cable exits the 41 mm long body, removing the need for a separate connector but fixing the cable length at installation. Shielded construction lets the sensor sit flush in metal brackets without reducing the 8 mm sensing distance. Buyers who need a quick-disconnect plug or longer cable runs will need a different model.

Questions about this item
How do I install the XS618B1PAL2 and what wiring mistake should I avoid?
Mount the 18 mm nickel-plated brass barrel flush using the shielded face, connect the brown wire to 12–48 V DC, the blue wire to 0 V, and the black wire to the load — reversing brown and blue will prevent the 3-wire PNP output from switching.
What maintenance or replacement will the XS618B1PAL2 need over time?
The IP68 and IP69K sealed 2 m cable and sensing face require no scheduled maintenance; replace the unit only if the 8 mm detecting distance drifts or the 200 mA output fails after prolonged exposure to -13 °F to 158 °F.
What is the first limit the XS618B1PAL2 hits during continuous operation?
The 1 000 Hz switching frequency caps how fast the sensor can change state, so pulse rates above that will be missed before the 200 mA current limit or temperature range becomes an issue.
