Omron D5B-8015 Limit Switch
Omron D5B-8015 is an M8 mechanical touch switch with a hemispheric actuator for direct contact and position detection. The rounded sensing surface provides repeatable tactile actuation, while the slow-action mechanism supports resistive microloads from 1 mA at 5 VDC to 30 mA at 30 VDC. A 5 m oil-resistant cable provides extended wiring distance for installations where the switch is mounted away from the control connection, and IP67 protection supports exposure to dust, water, or oil. The D5B-8015 belongs to the D5B Series within the M8 mechanical touch switch range from Omron sensing products for reliable tactile feedback and position sensing.

The Omron D5B-8015 Limit Switch is an M8 mechanical touch switch with a hemispheric actuator for direct tactile contact and position detection. The rounded actuator provides a smooth sensing surface for moving parts, while the slow-action mechanism supports resistive microloads from 1 mA at 5 VDC to 30 mA at 30 VDC. Operating speed ranges from 5 to 500 mm/s. A 5 m oil-resistant cable provides extended routing distance, while the metal housing and IP67 protection support installations exposed to dust, water, or oil.
Insulation resistance is 100 MΩ minimum at 250 VDC between each terminal and ground, while contact resistance is 3.1 Ω maximum. The D5B-8015 operates from -10 to 70°C with relative humidity up to 95%. Mechanical shock resistance is specified at 1,000 m/s² minimum, with malfunction shock resistance of 300 m/s² minimum. Malfunction vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude. The switch supports up to 120 mechanical and 60 electrical operations per minute. These characteristics suit M8 tactile sensing where a rounded actuator and longer prewired cable are needed for repeated machine position sensing applications reliably. For the same M8 hemispheric actuator with a 3 m cable, see the D5B-8013 model.
