The Siemens 3SE2 120-6XX is a safety position switch with a separate actuator, built for guard-door and interlock applications where a positive-break NC circuit is required. The slow-action 2NC contact block is rated for 6 A at 230 V, which covers most control-circuit loads through a safety relay or PLC input module. IP67 sealing means the switch body and cable entry withstand washdown and outdoor exposure — suitable for food-processing, packaging, or conveyor lines where hose-down cleaning is routine.
The lifecycle stage is current per the manufacturer record. This order code remains an active catalog item. No phase-out or last-time-buy notice is attached.
Cable entry connection simplifies field wiring — no separate connector to source. The 43 x 49 x 127 mm footprint fits standard panel-mount cutouts for safety switches. Ambient operating temperature from -30 to 85 °C covers unheated outdoor enclosures and hot machine compartments. The separate actuator allows the switch body to be fixed to the frame while the actuator mounts on the guard door, providing positive-break action when the door opens.
