What the part is
The SS-5GL1318-ND is an Omron limit switch, classified under Limit Switches and shipped against that product category on the record. Order code SS-5GL1318-ND is the field-facing identifier a buyer quotes into the BOM line. Lifecycle is logged as current, meaning the part is still being produced and shipped under the manufacturer's active part number. No functional ratings beyond the class designation are confirmed in the spec record — the dimensional, electrical, and actuator details live in the Omron datasheet for this series.
Where this class lands on the line
A limit switch in this class is the mechanical position-feedback element at the end of an actuator stroke — door interlock, conveyor diverter, or valve-end indicator — wired back into a PLC digital input or a safety relay. The exact housing, actuator lever, and contact form for the SS-5GL1318-ND series are defined in the Omron datasheet; only the class designation is on the record here.
