OMRON SS-5GL Micro Limit Switch SPDT Chassis Mount 5A 125V
The OMRON SS-5GL is a subminiature basic snap-action switch designed for reliable mechanical switching and position detection in compact equipment. It features an SPDT (1 Form C) contact arrangement, providing both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switching contacts. The long hinged lever actuator allows the switch to be triggered by relatively small movements of a mechanical part, making it useful where direct plunger actuation is inconvenient.
The switch is suitable for detecting the position, movement, opening, closing, or end-of-travel condition of mechanical components. Its compact construction makes it useful in machinery, printers, control equipment, automation systems, robotics, and other applications where a dependable mechanical limit signal is required. The SS series uses a snap-action mechanism for quick contact transfer and is designed for repeated switching operation.
