The XCKJ162 is a Square D Osiswitch heavy duty limit switch built for industrial position sensing in wet, dusty, or washdown environments. The NEMA 1/2/4/12 and IP66 enclosure means the switch body and plunger seal against hose-directed water and airborne dust — suitable for food processing lines, machine tool coolant splash, and outdoor conveyor galleries. The SPDT contact block is rated 240 VAC 10 A and 250 VDC 0.27 A; the AC-15 / DC-13 style inductive load curve is what governs real motor-starter or solenoid switching, not the resistive rating alone. The metal roller plunger actuator provides overtravel protection and tracks cam profiles without binding.
Designed to EN/IEC 60204-1 (safety of machinery — electrical equipment) and EN/IEC 60947-5-1 (control circuit devices and switching elements). The ZAMAK zinc alloy body resists corrosion and mechanical impact.
