General-purpose Limit Switch

HL-5000

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
