Defining the part and its place on the BOM
Omron SS-5GL1111T is a subminiature snap-action limit switch drawn from the Omron SS family, listed under the Limit Switches category. Mechanically actuated limit switches of this form factor are specified for end-of-travel detection on tooling, packaging lines, and small-format assembly fixtures where a panel-mount or through-hole actuator footprint fits a constrained envelope.
Production status and supply posture
The lifecycle record on the order code reads current, which frames the SS-5GL1111T as an active line item rather than a phase-out stock item — meaning production quantities are quoted against the BOM at RFQ rather than cleared through a last-time-buy window. For an import desk, the practical read is landed-cost planning on a current-production component: HS-code classification and country-of-origin paperwork track to the active line, so the import side stays routine as long as the declaration references the current SS catalog designation.
Documenting the order line for traceability
The PO line should cite the manufacturer name and the order code exactly as printed on the device nameplate — Omron SS-5GL1111T — so the declaration pack and incoming-receipt trace stay aligned with what the warehouse physically receives.
