OMRON SS-5GL13 Micro Limit Switch SPDT Chassis Mount 5A 125V
The OMRON SS-5GL13 is a subminiature basic snap-action switch designed for mechanical detection and control applications where compact size and reliable switching are required. It uses an SPDT (1 Form C) contact arrangement, providing a common terminal with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts. The lever actuator allows mechanical movement to operate the switch without requiring direct pressure on the switch body.
The SS-5GL13 can be integrated into machinery and equipment to detect the position or movement of mechanical components. When the actuator is moved, the internal snap-action mechanism changes the electrical connection between the NO and NC contacts, providing a simple electrical indication of a mechanical state. This makes it useful for limit detection, end-stop sensing, interlocking, and equipment control.
