Product Overview
The Omron Z-15GW22A55-B5V is a general-purpose basic switch from the Z-15 family, manufactured by Omron Corporation. Hengyixin Automation ships this switch from our Xiamen warehouse with a 30-day DOA return window.
The switch has a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact with a 0.5 mm gap and silver rivet contacts. It switches 15 A at 125 or 250 VAC resistive. The actuator is a short hinge roller lever. Screw terminals sit under a drip-proof terminal cover.
The plastic housing carries IP62 (drip-proof) protection. Mechanical life is 10 million operations and electrical life is 500,000 operations at the rated load. Operating force is 1.96 N and the unit runs from -15 to 80 degC. The body is 49.2 x 17.45 x 23.9 mm and weighs about 56 g. For the standard hinge roller lever without the terminal cover, pick the Z-15GW22-B. For a panel-mount plain-hinge roller lever, use the Z-15GW2-B.
Key Features
- Z-15 general-purpose basic switch, SPDT (Form C), 0.5 mm contact gap
- 15 A at 125 / 250 VAC resistive, 15 A at 14 VDC
- Short hinge roller lever, 1.96 N operating force
- Drip-proof terminal cover, IP62, 10 million mech operations
- SKU: Z-15GW22A55-B5V
- Series: Omron Z-15-series general-purpose basic switch
Best-Fit Applications
- Door-interlock switch on a machine guard where the short roller lever trips when the door closes and the 15 A rating handles the interlock relay
- Limit switch on a vending machine where the basic switch signals the door position to the controller without a custom bracket
- Spare replacement on a legacy panel where the original basic switch failed and the Z-15GW22A55-B5V drops onto the same mounting holes and wiring terminals
Buying Checklist
- Pick the Z-15GW22A55-B5V for a 15 A SPDT basic switch with a short hinge roller lever and a drip-proof terminal cover.
- Pick the Z-15GW22-B instead when the panel does not need the drip-proof terminal cover.
- Pick the Z-15GW2-B instead when the application needs a plain-hinge roller lever on the same Z-15 body.

FAQ for Z-15GW22A55-B5V
What does the -B5V suffix mean?
B5 = drip-proof terminal cover. V = silver rivet contact (standard load). Earlier naming schemes use B5V and A55 for the same options on different label generations.
Can the Z-15GW22A55-B5V switch 30 VDC?
Yes. The switch handles 15 A at 8 VDC, 15 A at 14 VDC, 6 A at 30 VDC, 0.5 A at 125 VDC and 0.25 A at 250 VDC. The current rating drops as voltage rises because the DC arc is harder to break.
Is the Z-15GW22A55-B5V rated for outdoor use?
No. The drip-proof IP62 rating covers falling water drops but not jets or submersion. For outdoor use, choose a sealed switch such as the D2VW or the Z-15G with a -B7 enclosure.
