Overview
The Siemens 3SE5232-0QV40 is a mechanical safety position switch from the SIRIUS 3SE5 product line. It features a plastic enclosure with 31 mm device connection, 2 NC/1 NO slow-action contacts, and supports 5 directions of approach. These mechanical safety switches are designed for position monitoring of moving protection equipment such as doors, covers, or protective grilles, with actuator heads that can be rotated by 4×90 degrees.
Key Features
- 400 VAC rated, 6 A contact current with threaded M20x1.5 mounting
- Slow-action 2 NC/1 NO contact configuration for enhanced safety
- Operating temperature range of -25 to +85°C with IP65 enclosure rating
- Five directions of approach possible, with one approach from the front
- Contact blocks ensure high contact stability and are coded to prevent manipulation
- Devices have worldwide IEC and UL approvals; capable of meeting highest safety requirements for PL e or SIL 3 with appropriate configuration
