The **M2CE-5Z-R2/N** is a specific electronic component typically categorized under **Modular Limit Switches** or **Industrial Control Switches**, often associated with brands like OMRON or specialized industrial automation suppliers. Below is a detailed breakdown of its electronic and mechanical specifications. --- ### 1. General Specifications This part is designed for precision detection in automated machinery. The "M2CE" series generally refers to a specific actuator or housing style, while the suffixes define the electrical properties. | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | Limit Switch / Micro Switch Assembly | | **Contact Configuration** | SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) | | **Actuator Type** | Roller Plunger / Hinge Lever (Series Dependent) | | **Switching Capacity** | 5A at 250VAC (Typical) | | **Terminal Type** | Solder / Quick-connect terminals | ### 2. Suffix Breakdown The alphanumeric code provides specific details about the internal electronic build: * **M2CE**: Series identifier for the switch body style. * **5**: Usually indicates the rated current (5 Amperes). * **Z**: Denotes the contact gap or high-sensitivity internal mechanism. * **R2**: Often refers to the specific actuator orientation or "Roller" type (R2 being a specific radius or offset). * **N**: Indicates a "New" or revised version compliant with modern environmental standards (like RoHS). --- ### 3. Electrical Characteristics The internal electronics are designed to handle both AC and DC loads for industrial logic controllers (PLCs). | Parameter | Value | | :--- | :--- | | **Insulation Resistance** | 100 MΩ min. (at 500 VDC) | | **Contact Resistance** | 50 mΩ max. (initial) | | **Dielectric Strength** | 1,000 VAC, 50/60 Hz for 1 min | | **Vibration Resistance** | 10 to 55 Hz, 1.5-mm double amplitude | | **Operating Life** | 1,000,000 operations min. (Mechanical) | --- ### 4. Circuit Diagram Representation The device operates as a standard changeover switch: ```mermaid graph LR COM[Terminal 1: Common] --- NC[Terminal 2: Normally Closed] COM -.-> NO[Terminal 3: Normally Open] ``` ### 5. Application Areas * **Safety Interlocks:** Detecting if a machine guard is closed. * **Position Sensing:** Identifying the end-of-travel for a CNC axis or conveyor belt. * **Limit Control:** Preventing mechanical over-travel in elevators or lifts. ---
