The Telemecanique XS512B1PAM12 is an XS5-family inductive proximity sensor of the XS range with a cylindrical M12 x 1 threaded body. It is flush mountable in metal. Nominal sensing distance (Sn) is 2 mm, with an operating zone of 0–1.6 mm. Enclosure is nickel-plated brass, sensing face PPS; length 50 mm, threaded length 30 mm, net weight 0.035 kg. Differential travel is 1–15 % of the effective sensing distance; switching frequency is up to 5000 Hz.
Supply is 12–24 V DC (limits 10–36 V DC) with reverse polarity protection. The PNP 1 NO output switches up to 200 mA with overload and short-circuit protection; closed-state voltage drop is below 2 V and no-load current consumption is at most 10 mA. Connection is via a 4-pin M12 male connector; a yellow LED shows the output state. Degree of protection is IP67 (IEC 60529) and IP69K (DIN 40050); operating temperature is -25 to +70 °C. Certifications: UL and CSA.
