Schneider Electric - XCSE5342 - Metal Safety Switch

The Schneider Electric XCSE5342 is a metal safety switch from the Preventa XCS range, designed to enhance safety in industrial applications. It features a key-operated turret head and provides interlocking with solenoid, ensuring that the safety function is maintained until the hazardous area is safe. The switch operates with a slow-break contact mechanism and includes two M20 cable entries for flexible installation.  

Key Features:

• Contact Configuration: 1 NC + 2 NO slow-break contacts

• Solenoid Interlocking: Locks on de-energization and unlocks on energization, enhancing safety protocols

• Robust Construction: Metal housing (Zamak) ensures durability in demanding industrial environments

• LED Indicators: Two LEDs (green and orange) provide clear status indication of guard position and locking state

• Cable Entries: Two M20 x 1.5 entries accommodate cables with diameters ranging from 7 to 13 mm
