Honeywell GLE Series Plunger Limit Switch, 2 NC, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch is a rugged mechanical position sensor designed for industrial control and automation tasks, employing a plunger actuator to detect travel and trigger electrical contacts. It is suitable for installations requiring environmental protection and straightforward wiring, used to monitor positions, end-stops or safety interlocks in machinery and electrical panels.

• Die-cast zinc housing provides robust mechanical protection and corrosion resistance
• IP67 ingress rating allows use in wet or dust-laden environments
• Slow-action contacts handle switching of both AC and DC loads
• Two normally-closed contacts support fail-safe circuit arrangements
• Mechanical lifespan of 15 million cycles reduces maintenance frequency
• Operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C extends deployment options

• Suitable for conveyor end-of-travel detection in manufacturing lines
• Ideal for actuator limit monitoring in hydraulic and pneumatic systems
• Used with motor control panels for position feedback and interlocking
• Can be used for access door monitoring in outdoor electrical enclosures

Terminals are screw type for secure conductor connection and the enclosure accepts a PG13.5 conduit entry for standard gland fittings.

It is capable of switching AC loads at 240V and DC up to 250V with a continuous current rating of 6 A.

The design has a Compact footprint of 60 x 65 x 30mm suitable for confined mounting spaces.

The actuator requires an operating torque of 0.11 N·m, informing lever and actuator interfacing for correct actuation timing.

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.
