Eaton Heavy Duty Factory-Sealed 6P+ Limit Switch Body, Die-Cast Zinc

The Eaton Heavy Duty Factory-Sealed 6P+ Limit Switch Body is built for demanding industrial control applications where reliable position sensing is critical. Housed in a die-cast zinc enclosure, this switch body ships with a 12 ft (3.7 m) SOOW-A cable and is rated 10A at 240Vac, 1A at 125Vdc, with a 1 NO-1 NC contact configuration. Backed by NEMA 1, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, and 13 ratings plus IP67 and IP69K protection, it is engineered to hold up in washdown, wet, and heavy industrial environments where standard switches fail.

Key Features

  • Durable Construction: Die cast zinc enclosure resists corrosion and impact in heavy duty industrial settings.
  • Connection: Factory-sealed 12 ft (3.7 m) SOOW-A cable simplifies wiring and eliminates field-connection failure points.
  • Contact Rating: Rated 10A at 240Vac and 1A at 125Vdc for reliable switching performance.
  • Contact Configuration: 1 NO-1 NC configuration supports standard limit switch control circuits.
  • LED Indicator: Integrated LED (24-120 Vac/dc) provides quick visual status confirmation.
  • Environmental Rating: NEMA 1, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 13 and IP67, IP69K ratings for wet, washdown, and outdoor duty.
  • Operating Range: Performs from -29 °F to 221 °F for use across a wide range of ambient conditions.
  • Catalog Note: Switch body only; a complete switch requires a compatible operating head.

Eaton E50DS2 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Eaton E50 limit switch a complete switch, or do I need to order an operating head separately?
It is a switch body only. To get a working limit switch you also need a compatible operating head (roller lever, plunger, wobble stick, etc.) ordered separately. Budget for both lines on the purchase order, because the body on its own will not actuate anything.
2) Will an Eaton E50 factory-sealed limit switch hold up to high-pressure washdown in a food plant?
Yes. The die-cast zinc body carries NEMA 4X and 6P plus IP67 and IP69K, and IP69K is the high-pressure, high-temperature washdown rating. The cable is factory-sealed into the body rather than landed in a conduit entry, so there is no field-made joint for water to find.
3) Can I switch a 120V motor starter coil with this Eaton limit switch?
Yes. Contacts are rated 10A at 240Vac, which covers a 120V or 240V control circuit and typical starter coil inrush. On DC it is 1A at 125Vdc, so size accordingly if you are switching a DC solenoid or relay.
4) What cable lengths does the Eaton E50 sealed limit switch body come with?
Two cable lengths are offered: an 8 ft (2.4 m) version, catalog E50AW16P, and a 12 ft (3.7 m) version, catalog E50SAL6P12. There is also the E50DS2 body. Pick the length that reaches your junction box or panel without a splice, since splicing the SOOW-A cable gives up the sealed-connection advantage.
5) Does this limit switch give me both a normally open and a normally closed contact?
Contact arrangement is 1 NO-1 NC, so you get one of each on a single body. That covers the usual pattern of a NC contact in a safety or stop string plus a NO contact feeding a PLC input or indicator.
6) Can this Eaton limit switch be mounted outdoors or in a freezer?
Operating range runs from -29 degrees F to 221 degrees F, which covers outdoor installs in cold climates and hot areas near ovens or dryers. Outdoor duty is also backed by the NEMA 3, 3S, 4X and 6P ratings for rain, sleet and temporary submersion conditions.
7) How much space do I need to mount this limit switch body?
The body measures 1.58 in wide, 1.54 in deep and 3.58 in high, before you add the operating head and its lever. Allow clearance above the body for the head and for the cable exit when laying out the mounting bracket.
8) Is this limit switch acceptable for a Canadian plant install?
It is CSA Certified and CE Marked, so it meets the listing requirement inspectors look for on Canadian industrial control installations and carries European conformity marking for export machinery builds.
9) Why choose a factory-sealed cable limit switch over a conduit-entry version?
A conduit-entry switch is wired in the field, and that gland or hub is where moisture gets in over time. The factory-sealed E50 body brings a SOOW-A cable out of a sealed housing, so the weak point is eliminated and the IP69K rating holds. The tradeoff is you are fixed to the supplied cable length, 8 ft or 12 ft, and you make your terminations at a junction box instead of at the switch.
10) How do I tell if the limit switch has tripped without opening the panel?
There is an integrated LED in the body that works on 24 to 120 Vac/dc, so a technician can confirm switch state at the machine instead of tracing the circuit back to the controls panel. If your control voltage falls outside 24 to 120 V the indicator will not be usable.
