The XCKM106H29 is a general-duty compact limit switch from the Square D Osiswitch line, built with a ZAMAK zinc-alloy body and a cat-whisker actuator. The cat whisker is a flexible wire lever — it triggers on light contact from any direction, which makes it a common pick for detecting passing objects on conveyors or counting parts without jamming. The 30-degree pretravel and 14-degree differential travel tell you the switch trips after 30° of lever movement and resets 14° back; that's a narrow snap-action window suited for consistent repeatability on fast-moving lines. Contact rating is 240 VAC at 3 A and 250 VDC at 0.27 A. Enclosure is rated IP66 and NEMA 1/2/4/6/6P/12/13 — that covers hose-down, temporary submersion (NEMA 6P), and dust-tight. It's suitable for washdown environments in food processing or outdoor installations where rain and snow are expected. The ISO M20 x 1.5 cable gland entry accepts standard metric fittings.

Frequently asked questions
What is the closest alternative to the XCKM106H29 in the same family?
Within the Osiswitch XCKM series, the closest sibling would share the same body style and mounting but differ in actuator type — for example, a roller-lever version instead of the cat whisker. The choice depends on whether your application needs the multidirectional light-touch trigger of the cat whisker or a more positive roller actuation.
What are the key electrical ratings of the XCKM106H29?
The switch is rated 240 VAC at 3 A and 250 VDC at 0.27 A. Contact configuration is 1NO-1NC with snap-action, spring-return operation.
What approvals does the XCKM106H29 carry?
It carries UL and CSA approval, making it suitable for North American industrial control panels without additional agency review.
