The Omron ZE-Q-2 is a compact enclosed switch designed for standard industrial applications. It features a precision plunger actuator and a built-in SPDT contact switch rated for 15 A at 250 VAC (resistive load). The side-mount design and robust terminal configuration make it suitable for machinery, jigs, and conveyor systems requiring reliable mechanical feedback.
It supports slow operating speeds from 0.01 mm/s to 0.5 m/s and offers both high mechanical durability (10 million operations) and electrical life (500,000 operations). The switch withstands vibration (10–55 Hz, 1.5 mm amplitude) and shock (up to 1,000 m/s² destruction). Electrical insulation is ensured with 100 MΩ resistance at 500 VDC and 2,000 VAC dielectric strength between key terminals and metal parts.
The ZE-Q-2 operates in ambient temperatures from –10°C to 80°C and humidity levels up to 95%. Its metal housing and sealed construction provide long-lasting performance with IP65 protection.
