Selection Guide
With the WL-N Series, OMRON will combine the switch, Actuator, and wiring method required to build the ideal switch for
your application.
The WL-N Series consists of four basic types: General-purpose, Environment-resistant, Spatter-protec-
tion, and Long-life Switches. WLCA2-N Switches can be used for the most common applications.

Note: Leakage current from indicator circuit may cause load malfunction (i.e., the load may remain ON). Make sure that the load operating current is higher
than the leakage current. For countermeasures, refer to technical support on your OMRON website.
*1. Light-ON when not operating means the indicator is lit when the actuator is free and is not light when the Switch contacts (NO) close when the
actuator rotates or is pushed down.
*2. The position of the positioning piece is not always the same. If using an L-shaped connector causes problems in application, use a straight connector.

Limit Switch Connectors
Connectors (SC Series)
Cabtire cables and flexible tubes with various diameters are used to
connect machine tools and controllers with Limit Switches. To ensure
the watertightness of the edges of the conduits, use an SC Connector
that is suitable for the external diameter of cable and model of Limit
