What the SS-1GL13-F-4 is on the line
The SS-1GL13-F-4 is Omron's sub-miniature snap-action limit switch — the kind of position-feedback element you find bolted to a machine guard, an actuator cam, or a conveyor end-stop, where a positive mechanical trip has to translate into a clean dry-contact signal to the PLC or safety relay. Listed product number SS-1GL13-F-4 and product name Switches - Limit Switches sit under the Limit Switches category, confirming the part's role as a discrete position-feedback device rather than a sensor, relay, or interlock block.
For an installed asset where one of these switches has been running for years, the sensible move is to hold one or two SS-1GL13-F-4 units in the spares cabinet before the failure, not after — mechanical limit switches tend to fail at the actuator, not the contacts, and a field swap is faster than a procurement cycle once the line is down.
Sourcing and quoting posture
SS-1GL13-F-4 is sourced through independent distribution against an RFQ: confirm the exact BOM quantity, the actuator / lever variant required, and the panel cut-out dimensions on the datasheet drawing, and current pricing plus lead time come back with the quote. No price, stock count, or same-day ship claim is made here — those numbers live on the quote line, not on a product page, and they shift with allocation.
