Overview
The Schmersal M2S 015-11Y limit switch is a robust position-sensing device designed to meet IEC 60947-5-1 industrial control standards. This switch features a metal enclosure with IP65 ingress protection rating, making it suitable for harsh manufacturing environments where water spray and dust resistance are critical. The M2S 015-11Y accommodates three M20 x 1.5 cable entries and incorporates two contacts with large after-travel actuation to ensure reliable operation in demanding applications.
