Honeywell GLE Series Plunger Limit Switch, 2 NO/2 NC, IP67, Die Cast Zinc Epoxy Coated Housing, 240V ac, 6A

This limit switch is a rugged mechanical device designed to detect positional changes and open or close circuits within industrial control systems. It operates via a plunger actuator to provide definitive switching actions in automated and electromechanical assemblies, and is suited to environments requiring ingress protection and standardised safety approvals.

• Snap action contacts with two NO and two NC provide flexible signalling options
• Rated switching at 240V AC and 250V DC for diverse control circuits
• Durable die‑cast zinc housing offering sealed protection to IP67
• Mechanical endurance of 15 million cycles for long service intervals
• Operating force of 13 N enabling predictable actuation response
• Temperature range from −40 to 85 °C for wide ambient compatibility

• Suitable for conveyor end‑of‑travel detection in manufacturing lines
• Ideal for limit sensing on hydraulic and pneumatic actuators
• Used with motor starters and contactors for safety interlocks
• Can be used for position feedback in packaging machinery
• Suitable for door and gate position monitoring in access systems

It accepts a PG13.5 conduit entry to simplify threaded cable gland connections and maintain the enclosure seal.

The device uses snap action contacts to deliver fast transition between open and closed states, minimising arcing during switching at its rated voltages and currents.

It meets UL, CSA, CE and CCC approvals enabling specification in international control panels and machinery.

The die‑cast zinc body combines structural rigidity with resistance to mechanical stress while retaining a Compact footprint for confined mounting.

GLE limit switches are not safety devices. They should be not used as emergency stop or safety devices. They must not be used in applications where personal injury could occur as a result of product failure.

IEC/EN 60947-5-1
While IEC/EN 609747-1 covers general rules relating to low voltage switchgear and controlgear, IEC/EN 60947-5-1 specifically relates to control circuit devices and switching elements. The standard monitors the characteristics of devices, the electrical and mechanical requirements and the functional requirements.

EN50047
GLC and GLD limit switches are constructed from housing that meets EN50047. EN50047 applies to position switches with an automatic return actuator. Models that meet EN50047 feature standardised characteristics and dimensions (30.5 x 31.1 x 68 mm).

IP 66
A rating of IP 66 ensures that the limit switch units are protected against dust and low-pressure jets of water.

Sealed to NEMA 1, 4, 12, 13
NEMA 1 states that enclosures can be used indoor and offers a degree of protection against contact with the equipment enclosed.
NEMA 4 states that enclosures can be used either indoor or outdoor and provide protection against windblown rain and dust, hose directed water and splashing water.
NEMA 12 states that enclosures are intended for use indoors and offer some protection from dust, dirt, falling dirt and dripping non-corrosive liquids.
NEMA 13 states that enclosures are used indoors and offer a level of protection from oil, non-corrosive coolants, spraying water and dust.
