Product: Inductive proximity sensor, 40×40×70 mm, turret head, flush, M12
Nominal sensing distance (Sn): 20 mm

Degree of protection: IP67, IP65, IP69K
The Telemecanique XS8C2A1NCM12 is an inductive proximity sensor from the XS8 series with a 40×40×70 mm body, listed by the manufacturer under mobile equipment applications. The sensing face sits on a 5-position turret head, so the detection direction can be changed after mounting. The PBT enclosure is flush mountable in metal. The nominal sensing distance is 20 mm and the operating zone is 0–16 mm. The NPN output provides one normally open and one normally closed contact (1 NO + 1 NC) and switches up to 200 mA with overload and short-circuit protection.
The rated supply voltage is 12–48 V DC (limits 10–58 V DC) with reverse polarity protection; no-load current consumption is 0–15 mA. The switching frequency reaches 300 Hz and the voltage drop in the closed state is below 2 V. A green LED indicates supply and a yellow LED indicates output state. Electrical connection is by a 4-pin male M12 connector. The enclosure meets IP67 and IP65 (IEC 60529) and IP69K (DIN 40050); the operating temperature range is -25 °C to +70 °C. Net weight is 0.149 kg.
