⚡ XCK Compact Modular Limit Switch

The XCK compact modular limit switch refers to the compact EN 50047 format limit switches in the Telemecanique XC Standard range — specifically the XCKD, XCKP, and XCKT families.
These switches are modular, meaning the head, body, and contact block can be mixed and replaced independently.

Your uploaded document states:

A single metal operating head type for the Miniature design XCMD and XCMV, and Compact design XCKD, XCKP and XCKT ranges.
All the heads can be adjusted in 15° steps throughout 360°.

This is the core of the modular concept.


🔧 Key Features

  • Compact EN 50047 format — Standardised mounting and dimensions.
  • Modular construction — Interchangeable heads, bodies, and contact blocks.
  • Metal or plastic bodies
    • XCKD= metal
    • XCKP / XCKT= plastic
  • Positive‑opening NC contacts — Safety‑rated mechanical separation.
  • 360° adjustable heads — In 15° increments.
  • IP66/IP67 protection — Dust‑tight and water‑resistant.
  • Wide actuator selection — Plunger, roller plunger, roller lever, rod lever, multi‑directional.
  • Shared contact blocks — XE2 / XE3 snap action or slow break.

Your document confirms:

2 and 3 snap action and slow break contact blocks… are interchangeable between XCKD, XCKP and XCKT.

🧩 XCK Compact Modular Families

XCKD — Compact Metal

  • 1 cable entry
  • Zamak body
  • IK06 impact rating
  • Best for harsh environments

XCKP — Compact Plastic

  • 1 cable entry
  • Double‑insulated plastic body
  • Lightweight, cost‑effective

XCKT — Compact Plastic (2 Cable Entries)

  • 2 cable entries
  • Same EN 50047 footprint
  • Ideal for through‑wiring

All three use the same ZCE actuator heads.
