01 / Overview

Compact Snap-Action Switch for Precise Mechanical Position Sensing

The SS-5GL13 is designed for mechanism end-position feedback, interlock confirmation, and contact-triggered control actions. Its snap-action behavior provides clear switching performance in repetitive operation. This switch is widely applied in industrial machinery, appliance-grade mechanisms, and automation fixtures where durable mechanical sensing is still preferred for specific motion interfaces.

Typical Applications

  • Detecting mechanism end-of-stroke positions
  • Providing safety and access interlock feedback
  • Triggering control events on cam or lever movement
  • Monitoring fixture clamp open/close states
  • Replacing worn micro switches in maintenance cycles
  • Standardizing position switch hardware in machine assemblies

Buying Checklist

  • Proven snap-action behavior for reliable switching
  • Compact size enables versatile mechanical integration
  • SPDT contacts support diverse control circuit designs
  • Widely applicable in industrial and automation equipment
  • Cost-effective switch for maintenance and OEM stock

Frequently Asked Questions

What applications use miniature basic switches?

Low-current switching: signal circuits, indicator circuits, low-power relays, consumer appliances, office equipment. Not for power switching.

What's the maximum current rating?

0.1A at 125VAC (resistive). For higher currents, use Z series basic switches (up to 15A) or power relays.

What's the advantage of simulated roller lever?

Smooth operation, reduced wear, consistent operating force. Simulated roller provides roller-like feel without actual rolling element.

Can I use this switch for safety applications?

No, SS series is not certified for safety applications. For safety interlocks, use D4 series safety switches with direct opening action.
