Safety Limit Switch
D4B-#N
• Snap-action or slow-action contact for
accurate switching with safe operation
via a direct opening mechanism with
metal deposition between mating con-
tacts.
• Two sets of contacts: one (NC) for safe-
ty category circuit and the other (NO)
for control circuit.
• Contacts opened by direct opening
mechanism (NC contacts only), thus
preventing faulty operation due to fac-
tors such as metal deposition.
• Wide standard operating temperature
range:
–40°C to 80°C (standard type).
• Safety of lever settings ensured using a
mechanism that engages a gear be-
tween the operating position indicator
plate and the lever.
• Equipped with a mechanism that indi-
cates the applicable operating zone, as
well as push-button switching to control
left and right motion.
• Conforms to EN (TÜV) standards cor-
responding to the CE marking.
• 3-conduit switches are available.
• Metric conduit types available.

Replacement Part
Because the D4B-#N employs a block mounting construction, the switch box, operating head, and lever (side rotary type only) may be ordered as
a complete assembly or individually as replacement parts. (Replacement parts are not available as a switch box and head assembly or as a head
and lever assembly.)
