Siemens 3SE5132-0CJ82 is a SIRIUS mechanical position switch built in a compact 40 mm plastic enclosure to EN 50041, designed for dependable position sensing on industrial machinery and automation equipment. It features a rotary actuator head that can be set for right- or left-hand operation and is supplied with a 200 mm plastic rod lever, making it well suited to applications where a flexible, extended actuating lever is required.
The switch provides snap-action switching with 1 normally open and 1 normally closed contact for clear, repeatable signalling. Wiring is via screw terminals with a single M20 x 1.5 cable entry, and the housing offers IP65/IP67 ingress protection for use in demanding environments. Electrical characteristics include 400 V insulation voltage, 10 A thermal current, AC-15 utilisation up to 6 A (at 24–240 V) and 4 A (at 400 V), and DC-13 utilisation up to 3 A (at 24 V). It is designed for screw fixing and can be mounted in any position, with a typical mechanical service life of up to 15 million operating cycles.

What does this position switch do in an automation system?
It is a mechanical position (limit) switch used to detect the presence, movement, or end position of a machine component and provide a switching signal via its internal contacts.
What type of actuator is fitted?
It uses a rotary actuator head that can be set for right/left actuation, with a 200 mm rod lever made of plastic and a roller-style head for smooth contact with cams or moving parts.
What contact configuration does it have?
It provides 1 normally open (NO) and 1 normally closed (NC) snap-action contact.
What are the switching current ratings for typical control circuits?
Typical operational current ratings are AC-15: 6 A at 24 V, 125 V, and 240 V; 4 A at 400 V. For DC-13: 3 A at 24 V; 0.55 A at 125 V; 0.27 A at 250 V; 0.12 A at 400 V.
What is the thermal current rating (Ith)?
The thermal current rating is 10 A.
What enclosure protection rating does it have?
It is rated IP65/IP67, suitable for industrial environments where dust ingress and water exposure (including temporary immersion) may occur.
What is the cable entry size?
It has one cable entry: M20 x 1.5.
How are the electrical connections made?
Connections are via screw-type terminals.
What conductor sizes can be connected to the terminals?
Solid conductors: 1x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.5 to 0.75 mm²). Finely stranded with ferrule: 1x (0.5 to 1.5 mm²) or 2x (0.5 to 0.75 mm²). AWG: solid 1x (20 to 16) or 2x (20 to 18); stranded 1x (20 to 16) or 2x (20 to 18).
What are the operating and storage temperature ranges?
Operating temperature: -25 to +85 °C. Storage temperature: -40 to +90 °C.
How durable is it in terms of mechanical and electrical life?
Typical mechanical service life is 15,000,000 operating cycles. Typical electrical endurance is 100,000 operating cycles at AC-15, 230 V.
Can it be mounted in any orientation?
Yes, it can be mounted in any position and is typically fixed using screw mounting.
What are the approximate overall dimensions?
The device has a 40 mm wide enclosure and an overall length of approximately 281 mm (including the fitted actuator/lever arrangement).
Does it have positive opening operation?
No, this version is specified without positive opening operation.
Is this intended to be used as a safety switch?
No, it is not specified as a safety switch. If you need a safety function, a dedicated safety-rated switching device should be selected instead. The Siemens 3SE5132-0CJ82 is intended for standard position sensing duties.
- End-of-travel detection on linear slides and transfer systems using the 200 mm rod lever for wide approach range
- Position confirmation of machine guards, hatches, and access panels where a compact 40 mm EN 50041-format switch is preferred
- Limit switching on conveyors to detect pallet presence, product accumulation points, and diverter arm positions
- Cam- or dog-actuated position sensing on packaging machinery for indexing tables, infeed/outfeed stops, and pusher mechanisms
- Rotary movement monitoring on pivoting arms, linkages, and levers where right/left adjustable actuation simplifies setup
- Reference point (home) and overrun indication on material handling equipment to support repeatable machine sequencing
- Status feedback in control panels and PLC inputs using the 1 NO / 1 NC snap-action contact arrangement for clear switching states
- Use in damp or dusty industrial areas where IP65/IP67 sealing is required for dependable operation
- Door and gate position indication on automated workcells to confirm open/closed states during normal production cycles
- General-purpose mechanical position sensing on OEM machinery where a robust plastic-bodied, screw-terminal switch is suitable
