3SE5242-0KC05 SIEMENS

The 3SE5242-0KC05 is a position switch manufactured by Siemens, designed for reliable position detection in industrial applications. It features a robust plastic enclosure conforming to EN 50047 standards, ensuring durability and protection in harsh environments. The enclosure has a width of 50 mm, making it suitable for installation in space-constrained areas. This switch is equipped with two M20 x 1.5 device connection points, providing secure and standardized cable entry. The contact configuration includes 1 normally open (NO) and 2 normally closed (NC) slow-action contacts, offering versatile control options. The slow-action contacts ensure reliable switching even at slow actuation speeds. Actuation is achieved via a rounded plunger, which can also be a Teflon plunger for specialized applications requiring low friction or chemical resistance. This switch is ideal for monitoring the position of machine parts, safety gates, and other moving elements in automated systems. Its robust design and reliable performance make it a valuable component in ensuring safe and efficient operation.
