Honeywell GLE Series Coil Spring Limit Switch, DPDT, IP66, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch provides precise mechanical position detection for industrial control and automation systems, delivering robust snap-action switching with double-pole changeover contacts for reliable circuit control in demanding environments.

• Coil spring actuator delivers fast, repeatable actuation and reset
• IP66 enclosure protects against dust ingress and heavy water jets
• Die-cast zinc housing offers enhanced mechanical protection
• Switching capability supports 240V AC and 250V DC loads
• Mechanical endurance rated at 5 million cycles for long service life
• Low operating force of 1.3 N reduces actuator wear and energy use

• Suitable for conveyor position sensing in manufacturing lines
• Ideal for limit detection on industrial presses and shuttles
• Used with motor starters for end-of-travel detection
• Can be used for safety interlocks in assembly automation
• Used for gate or door position monitoring in outdoor installations

It uses a double-pole, double-throw snap-action contact set allowing two independent circuits to be switched simultaneously.

It operates across a temperature span from −25 °C to 85 °C, enabling use in both cool storage and warm process areas.

A PG13.5 threaded conduit entry is provided to simplify secure cable routing and conduit fittings.

The unit carries UL, CSA, CE and CCC approvals suitable for various international installation requirements.

GLE limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.
