IDEC HS5L Specification Sheet

HS5L Interlock Switch with Solenoid (4-Contact)

Four-contact solenoid interlock switches ideal for use on limited mounting spaces
such as small doors.

• Compact body: 35 × 40 × 127mm

• The locking strength is 1400N.

• Spring clamp terminal block prevents loosening of wires due
to vibration.

• A variety of circuits. Dual safety circuit and four-circuit
independent outputs available.

2-Contact4-ContactActuatorDimensions / Instructions

• Gold-plated contacts suitable for small loads.

• Spring lock models (unlocks when the solenoid is energized)
and solenoid lock models (locks when solenoid is energized)
are available.

• The head orientation can be rotated, allowing 8 different
actuator entries.

• Actuators can be used with other HS5 series interlock
switches. Spring loaded actuator exclusive for HS5L available.

• LED indicator shows solenoid operation.

Spring Lock

• Automatically locks the actuator without power applied to the
solenoid.

• After the machine stops, unlocking is completed by the
solenoid, providing high safety features.

• Manual unlocking is possible in the event of power failure or
maintenance using a manual unlocking key.

• Head removal detection circuitry (spring lock models only).

Solenoid Lock

• The actuator is locked when energized.

• The actuator is unlocked when de-energized.

• Flexible locking function can be achieved, for an application
where locking is not required and sudden stopping of a
machine must be prevented.

Marking for Locking Monitoring

The marking for lock monitoring described in clause 9.2.1
of ISO14119 can be used by satisfying the requirements in
general requirements (5.7.1), locking monitoring (5.7.2.2), and
ISO13849-1 (safety-related parts of control systems). This
marking has been added to the 2013 edition of ISO14119.
However, this marking cannot be applied to solenoid lock
switches according to general requirement (5.7.1).
