Safety Limit Switch
D4B-@N
CSM_D4B-_N_DS_E_10_4
Robust safety limit switch with metal housing
Slow-action and snap-action contact with
certified direct opening operation
certification
• Direct opening mechanism (NC contacts only) added to
enable opening contacts when faults occur, such as fused
contacts.
• Safety of lever settings ensured using a mechanism that
engages a gear between the operating position indicator plate
and the lever.
• Equipped with a mechanism that indicates the applicable
operating zone, as well as push-button switching to control left
and right motion.
• Head seal structure strengthened to improve seal properties
(TÜV: IEC IP67, UL: NEMA 3, 4, 4X, 6P, and 13).
• Wide standard operating temperature range:
–40 to 80°C (standard type).
• Certified standards: UL, CSA, EN (TÜV), and CCC.
Be sure to read the
“Safety Precautions”
on page 9.
Note:
Contact your sales representative for details on
models with safety standard certification.

*1.
The degree of protection is tested using the method specified by the standard (EN60947-5-1). Confirm that sealing properties are sufficient for
the operating conditions and environment beforehand.
*2.
The durability is for an ambient temperature of 5 to 35°C and ambient humidity of 40% to 70%. For further conditions, consult your OMRON
sales representative.

Structure and Nomenclature
Structure
Head
Can be connected in any of four directions (except for
Roller Plunger Models, which can be connected at either
of 2 directions that differ by 90°)
The roller lever switch employs a
system which allows
selection of operation on only one
side (left or right)
or both sides without the use of
any tools.
Roller
Nylon rollers used for superior resistance to wear.
Seal Ring
Sealing properties improved by using a X ring and
bearing-free structure.
Lever (Form Lock Structure)
The lever has an operating position indication plate
and grooves that mate every 90° to prevent slipping
between the rotary axis and lever.
The operating position indicator plate
Built-in Switch
Direct opening mechanism used for NC contact to
separate contact for faults, such as contact welding.
The heights of the NC and NO terminals are different
to enable easier wiring.
Conduit Opening
G1/2 or M20
Cover
Ground Screw
Ground screws are provided on all
models for increased safety.
