Schneider Electric XS612B1PAM12 Inductive Proximity Sensor

Schneider Electric Telemecanique OsiSense XS612B1PAM12 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 4 mm sensing distance built for reliable metal-detection in automation equipment. It features a brass housing and an M12 connector, measures about 62 mm in length, and carries an IP67 rating for dust and water ingress resistance in harsh industrial environments. The sensor provides a 3-wire PNP normally-open output and operates on a 12–48 V DC supply, with a maximum output current of about 200 mA. As part of the XS 612 series, it is commonly used for position sensing on conveyors, end-of-travel and limit-switch-style tasks, and other metal-detection needs where non-contact sensing is advantageous. This model is configured for M12 cabling and PNP logic, enabling straightforward integration with standard industrial controllers and safety interlocks.
