Eaton E50DT1 Limit Switch Head
The Eaton E50DT1 is a top-mounted plunger limit switch head rated for 600V AC and 10 amps. It carries NEMA 1, 2, 4, 4X, 6P, 12, 13 and IP67 ratings for harsh industrial environments. The operating temperature range spans 14 to 221 degrees Fahrenheit. It is designed for use with Eaton E50SA switch bodies.
Replaces worn or damaged plunger heads
This head upgrades an existing E50SA assembly when the original actuator is damaged or a different actuation style is required. The jump is worth it when a top-plunger motion with 0.06 inch actuator length and 2.2 newton operating force matches the machine geometry. It restores precise 0.04 inch operating travel and 0.02 inch reset travel in the same mounting footprint.
Fits E50SA switch bodies directly
The head mounts to the compatible switch body without adapters, freeing panel space with its compact top-actuation design. It needs a matching E50SA base to complete the contact block assembly. The IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings allow installation in wash-down or outdoor locations where lesser enclosures would fail.

Questions about this item
What cut-out size does the top push-button plunger head need for panel mounting?
The head fits the standard E50 series mounting pattern used with the E50SA body; no separate cut-out dimension is published for the head alone.
How do you install the plunger head onto the switch body, and what step is often missed?
Align the head with the E50SA body, secure the mounting screws, then verify the 0.04 in operating travel and 0.02 in reset travel before final tightening.
Which components wear out first and when should they be replaced?
The plunger actuator and internal contacts are the wear items; replace the head if travel exceeds 0.28 in total or operating force drifts from 2.2 N.
