Telemecanique Sensors XCKD2106N12 Limit Switch Spdt

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XCKD2106N12 is a general purpose industrial limit switch designed for position detection and machine control applications. It features a cat whisker actuator mounted at the top of the unit, a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact form with a normally closed (NC) configuration, and screw-type terminals for secure field wiring. The body is constructed from zinc alloy for durability in demanding environments. Rated IP66 and IP67 for ingress protection, this switch handles both dust-tight and water-immersion conditions. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.

This limit switch is suited for residential and commercial machine tool, conveyor, and automated equipment installations where reliable position sensing is required. The 1/2 inch NPT conduit connection integrates directly with standard industrial conduit runs. It carries NEMA ratings of 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 13, making it appropriate for a wide range of indoor and select outdoor panel and enclosure environments. Operating temperature range spans -13 degrees F to 158 degrees F, supporting use in cold storage and moderate-heat industrial settings.

Key Features

• Cat whisker actuator with top-mounted entry for flexible mechanical activation
• SPDT contact form with NC configuration for fail-safe position sensing circuits
• Zinc alloy body construction for impact and corrosion resistance
• IP66 and IP67 ingress protection ratings for dust-tight and water-submersion environments
• NEMA ratings 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 13 for broad enclosure compatibility
• 1/2 inch NPT conduit connection for standard industrial wiring integration
• Compliant with UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14, EN/IEC 60947-5-1, and RoHS requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation limit switch for general purpose industrial machine control and position detection systems requiring SPDT NC contact form with cat whisker actuation and 1/2 inch NPT conduit entry.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lockout/tagout all power sources before mounting or wiring the switch. Secure conduit connections at the 1/2 inch NPT entry to maintain the rated ingress protection. Verify actuator travel and mechanical alignment with the target before returning the system to service.
