The Telemecanique XCKD3921P16EX is a General/Heavy Duty Limit Switch, built for position sensing in industrial environments where the switch sees mechanical wear, washdown, or vibration. The sub-category tells you this is not a light-duty microswitch — it is sized and sealed for machine-tool, conveyor, and material-handling applications where the actuator takes repeated hits and the enclosure needs to keep out coolant and dust.
The General/Heavy Duty classification (per IEC 60947-5-1) means the switch body and actuator are designed for mechanical endurance in the millions-of-operations range, with an enclosure rating that typically starts at IP66. That matters when you are bolting this onto a press guard or a transfer line — the switch will survive the environment, not just the electrical load. The UPC 389118027469 is the 12-digit barcode for logistics; it confirms the packaging and SKU identity across supply-chain systems.
