VERTICAL TYPE
LIMIT SWITCHES
(INCLUDES LAMP TYPE)
AZ5
Limit Switches
General use vertical limit switch. Type with a lamp which makes maintenance
convenient; either a neon AC powered lamp or an LED DC powered lamp.
2. Lamps that can be used with a wide
range of voltages
• Neon lamp
Comes in two types: 100V AC and
200V AC , sufficient luminosity is
achieved through the diamond-cut lens.
Also with a long lifespan of more than 20
thousand hours.
• LED lamp
Covers 6V to 48V and comes in three
types, 6V AC/DC , 12V AC/DC , and
24 to 48V AC/DC . Uses two highly lumi-
nescent LEDs and in addition, sufficient
luminosity is achieved through the dia-
mond-cut lens.
3. Lamp connection can be either
spring type or lead wire type
• Spring type (wiring unnecessary)
(With neon or LED lamp type)
Wiring is unnecessary because the lamp
is directly connected to the terminals. By
simply changing the direction of the lamp
cover, it is possible to display both lights
during operation (normally closed side)
and no operation (normally open side.)
• Lead wiring type <Current leakage: 0>
(LED type only)
Because the wiring can be made parallel
to the load, current leakage from the
lamp can be reduced to 0. Even with a
slight leak, the electronic circuit incurring
the leak can be used safely.
4. Corrosion-proof, oil-resistant con-
struction
The protective construction is corrosion-
proof (conforms to IP67.) Also, the lens
and cover are formed simultaneously
with the lamp type, and moreover, a
nameplate is affixed to the upper sur-
face, thereby improving the already-
excellent waterproof capabilities.
