TMSS Germany Inductive Proximity Sensor M12, PNP, NO, 4 mm Sensing Distance, IP69K, XS612B1PAM12

With a nominal sensing distance of 4 mm and a switching frequency up to 2000 Hz, the TMSS Germany XS612B1PAM12 inductive proximity sensor delivers fast, reliable detection for demanding automation tasks. Its M12 cylindrical nickel-plated brass housing and PPS sensing face withstand harsh industrial environments, rated IP67 and IP69K for high-pressure washdown resistance.

Overview

The XS612B1PAM12 is part of the OsiSense XS series, designed for flush mounting in metal. It features a PNP output with one normally open contact, a 3-wire connection via an M12 connector, and a wide supply voltage range of 12–48 V DC (limits 10–58 V DC). The sensor includes reverse polarity, overload, and short-circuit protection, with a yellow LED indicating output state.
