The Siemens 3SE3200-0XX13 is a mechanical position switch with a separate actuator, built for use as a safety switch in industrial guarding applications. It carries one safety-related switching contact plus one NC and one NO auxiliary contact, all slow-action — meaning the contacts change state at a defined actuator position, not on snap-over, which suits interlock circuits where positive opening is required. Rated IP67, the molded-plastic block housing withstands washdown and dusty environments — a common spec for machine safety gates on food, packaging, or automotive lines.
The screw-type terminals and 30 mm width fit standard panel layouts; the separate actuator design means the switch body mounts on the fixed frame while the actuator attaches to the guard, simplifying replacement without realigning the full assembly.
