Telemecanique XCMD2116C12 XCKJ/XCKN Limit Switch 1NC+1NO standard IP65

The Telemecanique XCMD2116C12 is a miniature limit switch from the XC Standard series, intended for position detection and end-of-travel switching in industrial machinery. It uses a spring return steel roller lever with snap action contacts (1 NC + 1 NO) and accepts lateral approach from 2 directions via a 30° cam. The plug-in body includes an integral M12 5-pin male connector for direct wiring without a junction box.

Features and benefits:

• Triple IP rating (IP66/IP67/IP68) provides sealing against dust and water ingress, suitable for wash-down and outdoor installations.
• Positive opening mechanism with minimum force of 0.5 N ensures reliable contact separation in safety-relevant circuits per EN/IEC 60947-5-1.
• Integral M12 5-pin connector reduces wiring complexity and installation time compared to conduit entry bodies.
• 10,000,000 mechanical cycles support high-frequency actuation without premature wear.

Applications:

• End-of-travel position detection on conveyors, slides, and linear actuators.
• Machine guarding and door interlock monitoring on industrial equipment.
• Cam-operated position feedback in packaging, material handling, and assembly machines.
• Position sensing in automated production lines where IP68 wash-down resistance is required.
