• Lineup includes three contact models with 2NC/1NO and 3NC
contact forms in addition to the previous contact forms 1NC/
1NO, and 2NC. Models with MBB contacts are also available.
• M12-connector models are available, saving on labor and
simplifying replacement.
• Standardized gold-clad contacts provide high contact reliability
Can be used with both standard loads and microloads.
• Free of lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chrome, reducing the
burden on the environment.

Note: 1.
The values in the table on the previous page are initial values.
2.
Once the contacts have been used to switch a load, however, they cannot be used to switch smaller loads. The contact surfaces will become rough once
they have been used and contact reliability for smaller loads may be reduced.
3.
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. Although the switch box is protected from dust or water penetration, do not use the D4NH in places where foreign
material such as dust, dirt, oil, water, or chemicals may enter through the head. Otherwise, premature wear, Switch damage, or malfunctioning may occur.
4.
The durability is for an ambient temperature of 5
°
C to 35
°
C and an ambient humidity of 40% to 70%. For more details, consult your
OMRON representative.
5.
If the ambient temperature is greater than 35
°
C, do not pass the 3-A, 250-VAC load through more than 2 circuits.
6.
For safe use, make sure that the allowable operating speed is not exceeded.
7.
This value will vary with the switching frequency, environment, and reliability level. Confirm that correct operation is possible with the actual load beforehand.

Arm Lever
The arm lever is mounted upwards in the center
position before shipping. To change the position,
loosen the arm lever mounting screw, dismount
the arm lever, and mount the arm lever in the left
or right position.
The joint between the shaft and
arm lever is formed with form-
lock construction which remains
secure even when the
screw becomes loose.
Head
The head can be mounted in four directions.

When the guard is opened, the cam that is directly coupled to
the shaft rotates to press the Switch in the direction shown by
the (vertical) arrow. This action separates the contacts to stop
the machine.
Built-in Switch
The built-in switch has a direct opening mechanism
that forcibly separates the NC contact even when
there is contact deposit.
Cover
The cover, with a hinge on its lower part, can be
opened by removing the screw of the cover, which
ensures ease of maintenance and wiring.
* The housing and head of the D4NH are made of resin. Use D4BS Safety-
door Switches for applications requiring safety door switches of tough, high-
