Telemecanique Sensors Threaded Barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor M12 x 1 PNP 36V AC 36V DC 200mA 4mm Detection XS4P12PA340

Telemecanique Sensors XS4P12PA340 threaded barrel Inductive Proximity Sensor is engineered for robust metal object detection within industrial automation and control systems. With an M12 x 1 thread size and a 35 mm body length, it enables non-flush mounting where a protruding position optimizes sensing accuracy.

This sensor uses PNP output technology, functioning efficiently on both 36V AC and DC power supplies, accommodating common industrial voltages safely. It features an unshielded sensing face that allows a 4 mm detection range, suitable for precise proximity detection tasks where metal parts must be identified without contact.

With a switching current rated at 200 mA and maximum switching frequency of 5 kHz, the XS4P12PA340 supports rapid object counting and moderate load switching in automated workflows. Its IP68 ingress protection classification ensures it withstands dirt, dust, and prolonged submersion, making it ideal for automated manufacturing lines exposed to wash-down processes.

The housing material, polyphenylene sulphide, offers resistance to chemicals and mechanical stress, complementing an operating temperature range from -25°C to 70°C suitable for cold storage and hot industrial settings alike. Cable termination is pre-installed to simplify integration into control panels and machinery.

Applications span conveyor position sensing on assembly lines, metal part detection in tooling machines, presence monitoring on packaging equipment, proximity interlocks in safety circuits, and reliable feedback for robotic pick-and-place operations. Originating from France, this sensor is part of the trusted Telemecanique Sensors XS series designed for demanding industrial environments.

The sensor features an M12 x 1 threaded barrel design for reliable, non-flush mounting. It provides a 4 mm maximum detection distance with an unshielded sensing face. Operates with PNP output compatible with 36V AC/DC maximum supply voltage.

Supports a 200 mA switching current and up to 5 kHz switching frequency for fast sensing tasks. IP68 rating ensures protection against dust and water immersion for wash-down environments. Polyphenylene sulphide housing material enhances durability in harsh industrial conditions.

Suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -25°C to 70°C. Ideal for applications including conveyor position sensing, machine tooling, packaging machinery, safety interlocks, and robotics feedback.
