The ZAMAK zinc-alloy body handles the mechanical abuse of a bottling or canning line — it's the same material used in die-cast valve bodies and pump housings in food plants. ## Contact ratings — AC vs DC, the split matters Rated 240 VAC at 10 A and 250 VDC at 0.27 A. The AC number is what you use for motor starters, solenoid valves, and relay coils; the DC number is derated because DC arcs don't self-extinguish at zero-crossing the way AC does. The SPDT slow make/break contact configuration gives you both NO and NC in one switch — useful for dual-channel safety circuits or for signaling both 'open' and 'closed' positions from a single actuator. ## Actuator and mounting — roller plunger on a cam track The plunger head with metal roller actuator is designed for cam-operated positions — the roller follows the cam profile without the sliding wear a plain plunger would see over millions of cycles. ## Field wiring — PG13.5 gland, screw-clamp terminals The PG13.5 cable gland entry accepts standard metric-armored or flexible conduit — no adapter needed for the panel knockouts common on European and North American machines. Screw-clamp terminals inside mean you land the wires with a standard slotted or Pozidriv driver — no crimp tool, no ferrule required for stranded wire up to the rating.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric XCKJ562 Limit Switch, Heavy Duty, IP66","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric XCKJ562 heavy-duty limit switch. 240 VAC 10 A / 250 VDC 0.27 A, SPDT, IP66, NEMA 4/12.
