Wide Selection of Two-circuit Limit Switches

• A wide selection of models are available, including the overtrav-

el models with greater OT, lamp-equipped models for checking 
operation, low-temperature and heat-resistant models, and mi-
croload models.

• Microload models are added to the product lineup.

• Meets EN/IEC standards (only Switches with ground terminals).

• Switches with ground terminals have the CE marking.
