OMRON SS-5GL2 Micro Limit Switch SPDT Chassis Mount 5A 125V
The OMRON SS-5GL2 is a subminiature basic snap-action switch designed for reliable mechanical switching in compact equipment. Its SPDT (1 Form C) contact arrangement provides both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, allowing the switch to detect the presence, absence, or movement of a mechanical component. The hinged lever actuator can be operated by relatively small mechanical movements.
The switch is suitable for applications where a compact and dependable mechanical detection device is required. It can be used to detect end-of-travel positions, door or cover states, mechanism movement, and other mechanical conditions in equipment and automation systems. Its snap-action mechanism provides rapid contact transfer between the NO and NC states during actuation.
Features:
- Compact subminiature construction.
- SPDT switching configuration.
- Snap-action switching mechanism.
- Hinged lever actuator.
- Provides both NO and NC contacts.
- Suitable for mechanical position detection.
- Compact chassis-mount design.
