Snap-action operation and a 1.8 mm pretravel give a clean latch on every actuation, with total travel held to 5 mm and differential travel at 0.8 mm — narrow enough to repeat reliably on small cam profiles but wide enough that minor bracket flex doesn't cause nuisance trips (cite:,). ## Contact and electrical envelope The 1NO-1NC contact block is rated 240 VAC at 1.5 A and 250 VDC at 0.1 A, which slots into low-current logic duties downstream of a PLC or safety relay rather than direct motor switching — confirmation circuits, end-of-travel, and valve-position feedback are the typical fit (cite:,). Snap-action mechanism means the contacts transfer almost instantaneously once the pretravel is consumed, so there is no slow-make concern with inductive loads and the auxiliary NC leg fails to a safe state in most machine-safety architectures (cite:). ## Sealing for washdown and outdoor skids NEMA 1, 2, 4, 4X, 6, 12, and 13 ratings carry over to IP66, IP67, and IP68 sealing, so the ZAMAK zinc-alloy body holds up under hose-down, light immersion, and caustic washdown that would eat a less-sealed unit (cite:,). Operating temperature spans -13 to 158 °F, covering most indoor line environments and a wide band of outdoor cabinet placements without heaters or cold-weather enclosures (cite:). ## Termination and approvals A 2 m pre-wired removable cable connector leads out of the head, so field replacement swaps the pre-wired pigtail rather than re-terminating individual conductors each time the switch goes bad (cite:). The unit is built to EN/IEC 60204-1 and EN/IEC 60947-5-1, and carries UL and CSA approvals — the standards buyers expect on North American and EU machinery panels (cite:,). ## Procurement posture Lifecycle stage is listed as current and the brand is Schneider Electric, so the part flows through normal industrial distribution channels (cite:,). Two UPC values (78590126903 and 389119000300) appear in the listing — the second is the 12-digit format used on Square D / Telemecanique legacy paperwork, worth knowing if the buyer's receiving system keys on either string (cite:,).","metaTitle":"Schneider XCMD21F0L2 Limit Switch, 1NO-1NC, IP68","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric XCMD21F0L2 snap-action plunger limit switch, 240 VAC 1.5 A, 1NO-1NC, IP66/67/68, quoted to order against an RFQ through independent","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":["Limit Switches"],"specifications":{"UPC":"78590126903","Type":"HEAVY DUTY, MINIATURE, MODULAR","Model":"XCMD","title":"XCMD21F0L2","Approval":"UL, CSA","Category":"Miniature &amp; Snap Action Limit Switches","Enclosure":"NEMA 1/2/4/4X/6/12/13, IP66, IP67, IP68","Pretravel":"1.8 MM","Brand Name":"Osiswitch[R]","description":"Telemecanique Sensors XCMD Series Plunger Limit Switch, 1NC/1NO, IP66, IP67, IP68, DPST, Zamak Zinc Alloy Housing, 240V ac Max, 1.5A Max","Sub-Category":"General/Heavy Duty Limit Switch","Total Travel":"5 MM","UPC 12 Digit":"389119000300","Body Material":"ZAMAK[R] ZINC ALLOY","Contact Rating":"240 VAC 1.5 AMPERE, 250 VDC 0.1 AMPERE","Operation Type":"SNAP ACTION","Connection Type":"2 M PRE WIRED REMOVABLE CABLE CONNECTOR","Operating Force":"9.55 LB","lifecycle_stage":"current","Actuator/Head Type":"M12 THREADED PLUNGER HEAD","Manufacturer Brand":"Square D Co.","Differential Travel":"0.8 MM","Product Description":"Telemecanique XCMD21F0L2 Limit Switch 240Vac 5A Metal Xcmd","Contact Configuration":"1NO-1NC","Operating Temperature":"-13 TO 158 DEG F","Additional Information":"APPLICABLE STANDARD EN/IEC 60204-1, EN/IEC 60947-5-1","Full Technical Description":"Heavy Duty, Miniature, Modular Type; 1NO-1NC Contact Configuration; 2 M Pre Wired Removable Cable Connector Connection Type; Snap Action Operation Type; 240 VAC 1.5 Ampere, 250 VDC 0.1 Ampere Contact Rating; UL, CSA Approval; NEMA 1/2/4/4X/6/12/13, IP66, IP67, IP68 Enclosure; ZAMAK[R] Zinc Alloy Body Material; -13 to 158 Deg F Operating Temperature; 9.55 lb Operating Force; 0.8 mm Differential Travel; M12 Threaded Plunger Head Actuator/Head Type; 1.8 mm Pretravel; 5 mm Total Travel; OSISWITCH[R] Brand; Applicable Standard En/Iec 60204-1, En/Iec 60947-5-1; XCMD Model","Proposition 65 Warning (CA)":"WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including: Diisononyl phthalate (DINP), which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, and Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP), which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
