FeaturesLimit switch with plastic housing
The D4N series of limit switches in plastic housing is the ideal switch for all standard mechanical position detection applications both for safety and non-safety applications.
- Direct opening mechanism and approval by notified body
- Rugged plastic housing with double insulation
- Wide range of actuators
- M12 connectors or terminal block with M20 conduit

Switches with MBB contacts
MBB (Make Before Break) contacts have an overlapping structure, so that before the normally closed (NC) contact opens the normally open (NO) contact closes.

1NO/1NC Contact (Snap-action)
If metal deposition between mating contacts occurs on the NC contact side, they can be pulled apart by the shearing force and tensile force generated when part B of the safety cam or plunger engages part A of the movable contact blade. When the safety cam or plunger is moved in the direction of the arrow, the Limit Switch releases.
1NC/1NO Contact (Slow-action)
2NC Contact (Slow-action)
1.The NC contacts provide the approved direct opening mechanism.
2.The durability is acquired for an ambient temperature of 5 to 35°C and an ambient humidity of 40% to 70%.
3.10,000,000 operations min. for fork lever actuator.
