Where this limit switch sits on the line
The SS-5GL1144D is Omron's subminiature snap-action limit switch in the Limit Switches line — the size class that lives on conveyor frames, packaging-machine guards, and door-interlock brackets where a full-size DIN-hinge limit switch would never fit. Subminiature limit switches of this form factor are typically wired to a 24 VDC control circuit and used as position-confirmation contacts — confirming cylinder stroke end, guard closure, or cam-actuated sequencing — rather than carrying motor current directly.
Production status and cross-reference
Lifecycle for the SS-5GL1144D is listed as current, so it is not in a last-time-buy or phase-out window — the storeroom can hold it as a running spare without an immediate EOL replacement hunt.
What to confirm before committing the SKU
The part number itself is the SS-5GL1144D under Omron's subminiature snap-action family — the trailing characters carry the actuator, terminal, and contact-form coding, and a mismatch on those means the bracket geometry or wiring footprint will not line up with the original mounting. Compliance documentation (RoHS, REACH, UL/IEC ratings) is not enumerated in the spec row on file here, so the declaration pack needs to be pulled from the manufacturer datasheet at the time of PO trace rather than assumed from the listing alone.
