Not enough space / Difficult to waterproof

Development / Design Man-hour reduction / Space-saving
Overcoming challenges such as limited space and harsh operating environments makes detection design more flexible.

Since there is a limit to the space that can be allocated to the mechanism unit, the need for miniaturization as well as high functionality is required. There is an increasing number of cases that require measures such as waterproofing, dustproofing, and more to fight against harsh environmental conditions. OMRON contributes to the miniaturization and high functionality of equipment by supplying components that enable detection in limited spaces and in harsh environments.

Contributes to increased design flexibility in a limited space.

When trying to install a switch, it is difficult to find space and achieve protection performance.

Problem of not having enough space

Lever type cannot fit in the space. Cannot be pressed from above even if replaced with a leverless type.
Leverless type fits in the space and the switch can be pressed from the side.

No space to pull wires out.
The side outlet type allows for easy wiring even in a limited space.

Problem of not achieving waterproof and dustproof performance.

Wiring connections and board are not protected. Harness connection: Exposed wiring connections. Mounted on board for screw installation: Board is not waterproof.
The M3 screw mounting type is waterproof and dustproof, and reduces the man-hours required for PCB design, mounting, and wiring connections. Can be mounted with M3 screw. Harness section also satisfies IP67. D2GW/D2EW Series.
