The angular roller lever actuates a positive-opening contact block with two NC contacts and zero NO contacts, so it's wired exclusively for safety shutdown circuits where you need the contacts to break open mechanically even if they weld. The molded-plastic housing follows EN 50047 block dimensions and carries an IP65 rating, meaning it handles washdown spray and dust ingress on a packaging line or conveyor transfer station. Connection is via AS-i insulation displacement method — no screw terminals on the switch body itself. That saves wiring time on a multi-node AS-i loop but means you're committed to the AS-i flat cable infrastructure. The screw fixing mount keeps it located on the machine frame; it's not a DIN-rail part. ## Positive opening and the 2NC configuration The positive opening function (per IEC 60947-5-1) is the key safety feature here. The two NC contacts are mechanically forced open by the actuator — not spring-reliant — so even if the contacts weld shut from a fault, the cam still breaks them apart. That's why this switch has no NO contacts: it's built for the safety circuit, not for a PLC status signal. If you need a separate position-indication signal back to the controller, you'd add a second switch or use an AS-i safety monitor that reads the NC state. The angular roller lever gives you a 90° actuation angle, which suits cam tracks on rotating machinery or slide gates where the actuator approaches from the side rather than straight-on.","metaTitle":"Siemens 3SF3200-6FV00-0BA1 AS-i Position Switch, 2NC, IP65","metaDescription":"Siemens 3SF3200-6FV00-0BA1 communication-capable position switch with AS-i adapter, 2NC positive opening contacts, IP65, angular roller lever.
