Omron SS-5GL2 Limit Switch
Omron SS-5GL2 is a general-purpose miniature basic switch with a long hinge lever for precise mechanical actuation in compact equipment. The extended lever provides a longer actuation path with low operating force, while solder terminals support direct electrical connection in space-limited assemblies. It is rated for 5 A at 125 VAC and 3 A at 250 VAC, with 10 million mechanical operations for long service life. The switch suits appliances, compact control mechanisms, and industrial equipment requiring repeatable lever actuation. The SS-5GL2 belongs to the SS Series within the miniature basic switch range from Omron control components for compact position and mechanical feedback applications.

The Omron SS-5GL2 Limit Switch is a general-purpose miniature basic switch with a long hinge lever actuator for precise mechanical switching in compact assemblies. The extended lever provides a longer actuation path and requires a maximum operating force of 0.74 N, while the minimum release force is 0.029 N. Pretravel is 5.2 mm maximum, overtravel is 1.2 mm minimum, and movement differential is 0.25 mm maximum. The operating position is specified at 15.7 ± 1.2 mm. Solder terminals support direct electrical connection, and the switch is rated for 5 A at 125 VAC and 3 A at 250 VAC.
Mechanical durability reaches 10 million operations, while electrical durability is 100,000 operations at rated load. Insulation resistance is 100 MΩ minimum at 500 VDC, and initial contact resistance is 100 mΩ maximum. Dielectric strength is specified at 1,000 VAC between terminals and 1,500 VAC between terminals and ground for one minute. These characteristics make the SS-5GL2 suitable for compact devices where long-lever actuation, repeatable travel, and standard AC load switching are important. The extended lever is the main mechanical distinction when compared with the shorter hinge-lever version. For a related SS Series model using a standard hinge lever with shorter pretravel, see the SS-5GL model.
