Omron ZE-Q-2 Limit Switch
Omron ZE-Q-2 is a general-purpose enclosed switch with a plunger actuator, SPDT (AC) contacts, and side mounting. Operating speed is specified from 0.01 mm/s to 0.5 m/s, while IP65 protection is listed for the model. Mechanical durability is ten million operations minimum. The ZE-Q-2 belongs to the ZE Series within the Omron enclosed limit switch range from Omron. Its plunger actuator, side-mounting format, SPDT (AC) contact form, general-purpose classification, IP65 protection, and low operating-speed range provide the main model identity. The plunger actuator is the clearest distinction from roller-arm-lever ZE versions.

The Omron ZE-Q-2 Limit Switch is a general-purpose enclosed switch with a plunger actuator, SPDT (AC) contact form, and side mounting. Operating speed ranges from 0.01 mm/s to 0.5 m/s. Mechanical operation frequency is 120 operations per minute and electrical operation frequency is 20 operations per minute. Initial contact resistance is 15 mΩ maximum, insulation resistance is 100 MΩ minimum at 500 VDC, and frequency is 50/60 Hz. IP65 protection is specified. Mechanical durability is ten million operations minimum, while electrical durability is 500,000 operations minimum under the listed 15 A at 250 VAC resistive-load test condition.
Operating temperature ranges from -10 to 80°C with no icing. Humidity is 35 to 85% RH for the general-purpose type. Malfunction vibration resistance covers 10 to 55 Hz at 1.5 mm double amplitude. Destructive shock resistance is 1,000 m/s² maximum; the source also lists malfunction values of 100 m/s² maximum and 50 m/s² maximum without visible labels distinguishing their conditions. The 15 A at 250 VAC value is retained only as the electrical-durability test condition and is not presented as an independent rated load. The plunger actuator and 0.01 mm/s minimum operating speed distinguish this model from the roller-arm version. For the related ZE Series side-mounting model with a roller arm lever, see ZE-QA2-2.
