Its sealed enclosure (NEMA 1/2/4/4X/6/12/13 plus IP66/IP67/IP68) makes it suitable for washdown, outdoor, and food-and-beverage line guard positions where a compact limit switch has to survive hose-down and dust ingress. ## Contact rating and operating travel Contact rating is 240 VAC at 1.5 A and 250 VDC at 0.1 A on a snap-action 1NO-1NC pole set, so the switch drives low-current pilot loads into a PLC or contactor coil rather than motor power directly — the rating is the ceiling, and the inductive DC figure (0.1 A at 250 VDC) is the one that governs when switching DC solenoids or relays. Snap-action operation pairs 70° operating travel with 25° pretravel, 12° differential travel, and 90° total travel — meaning the contacts change state crisply within the actuation arc, and the differential is the hysteresis that prevents contact chatter when the actuator dwells near the trip point. ## Standards footprint and operating envelope Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 °F, which covers standard indoor control cabinets and most outdoor enclosure applications without cold-start or summer-heat derating on the mechanism. California Proposition 65 warnings apply for DINP and DIDP — relevant for BOM sign-off on assemblies shipped into California, and a flag facilities receiving parts into US plants commonly clear in the receiving inspection workflow. ## Lifecycle and supply Schneider Electric is the listed brand family. Independently distribution supports this part on a quoted-to-order basis against the BOM: pricing and availability confirmed at RFQ. The Osiswitch XCMD series is a long-running Schneider line, but the XCMD2116L3 has to be sourced to confirm the firm date for the outage window.","metaTitle":"XCMD2116L3 Schneider Limit Switch, 1NO-1NC, IP68","metaDescription":"Schneider XCMD2116L3 Osiswitch limit switch, 1NO-1NC snap action, 240 VAC 1.5 A, NEMA 4X/IP68 enclosure, 3 m pre-wired cable.
