The Telemecanique Sensors XCMD2102L5 is a roller plunger limit switch from the XCMD series, built for linear position detection in industrial automation. The roller plunger actuator, with a steel roller (0.46 in diameter, 0.14 in width) and metal arm, tracks cam or moving-part profiles to signal end-of-travel, presence, or sequence position. Rated IP66, IP67, and IP68, the switch withstands high-pressure washdown and temporary submersion — suited for food processing, washdown zones, or outdoor conveyor lines where moisture and dust ingress are routine. The zamak body and non-metallic bootless design handle shock and vibration on moving machinery.
The contact form is 1NO/1NC, giving one normally-open and one normally-closed circuit. This is standard for safety interlock or dual-channel control — the NC channel can provide a feedback signal while the NO channel switches the load. AC contact rating is 1.5 A at 240 V, enough for pilot-duty control relays or small contactor coils; DC rating is 0.1 A at 250 V, so inductive DC loads like solenoid valves need careful current verification. Maximum operating force is 7 N (1.6 in-lb torque), which means the plunger trips with a light touch — suitable for precision cam profiles or light-gate sensing without overloading the actuator mechanism. Operating temperature range is -13 °F to 158 °F, covering most indoor industrial environments and sheltered outdoor installations.
Approved to CCC, CSA (CSA C22.2 No.14), EN 60204-1, EN 60947-5-1, IEC 60204-1, IEC 60947-5-1, and UL 508 (UL Listed). These cover the main global industrial safety and switchgear standards — the switch meets requirements for machinery electrical equipment (EN/IEC 60204-1) and control circuit devices (EN/IEC 60947-5-1). NEMA enclosure ratings 1, 2, 4, 6, 6P, 12, and 13 are also listed, confirming suitability for indoor and outdoor enclosures including hose-down and temporary submersion.
Mounting and connection details
Surface-mount style with two 0.17 in mounting holes spaced 20 mm center-to-center. The removable cable connector simplifies wiring replacement without disturbing the mounting — useful in tight panels or when the switch is in a hard-to-reach location. Body dimensions are 1.97 in high, 1.18 in wide, 0.63 in deep, a compact footprint for DIN-rail or machine-frame mounting.
