General-purpose Limit Switch

HL-5000 CSM_HL-5000_DS_E_3_2

Economical, Miniature Limit Switch

Boasting Rigid Construction
• The Head, Box, and Cover mate with ridged surfaces to
maintain strength.
• A unique Head structure provides a large OT for smooth operation.
• Easy-to-wire conduit opening design.
• Ideal for application in printing machines, forming machines,
and light machines.
(High Switches with high sealing characteristics, such as WL or
D4C Switches, in locations subject to oil, water, or precipitation.)
• Models with grounding terminals conform to the CE marking.
• Approved by CCC (Chinese standard).
(Ask your OMRON representative for information on approved models.)
Be sure to read Safety Precautions on page 4 to 5 and
Safety Precautions for All Limit Switches.
