Schneider Electric XS112B3PAL2 Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XS112B3PAL2 is a compact XS1 inductive proximity sensor in an M12 cylindrical housing, delivering non-contact metal detection with a 4 mm sensing distance. The unit is specified for 12–24 V DC operation and ships with a 2 m cable, making it ready for immediate integration into standard automation circuits. Measured at 37 mm overall length (L37MM) with a brass body, this sensor is designed for rugged industrial environments and carries IP65/IP67 compatibility for exposure to dust and water jets. The XS112B3PAL2 belongs to Schneider Electric’s Telemecanique XS1 family, a versatile line of inductive sensors widely used for position sensing and safety interlocks in conveyors, presses, and machine-tending applications. With a 4 mm sensing range, it provides reliable detection of metallic targets passing within range, enabling precise end-of-stroke or presence sensing without physical contact. Its compact form factor and standard M12 connection streamline installation in tight control cabinets and on equipment where space is at a premium. Applications include automated assembly lines, packaging machines, and robotics where consistent metal-target detection is required.
