FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
All MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series miniature precision switches
incorporate fluorocarbon diaphragm sealing to provide reliable
protection, meeting IP65, IP66, IP67, and IP68, as well as
NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, and 13 requirements. Versions with
a boot seal also meet NEMA 12 requirements (dust, falling dirt,
liquid media with solid contaminates). The cable or connector
and basic switch terminals are encapsulated in an epoxy
sealant, offering excellent resistance in harsh environments.
For low temperature applications (down to -40 °C, -40 °F), CE
Series switches can be supplied with low temperature seals
and lubricant.
The CE Series switches are rugged and versatile switches
which can be applied indoors in many harsh factory floor
applications, as well as on outdoor equipment in extreme
temperatures. A full range of actuators are available, including
pin plungers, roller plungers, side rotary, multi-directional wire,
and manually operated. The switches are also available with
the industry standard, M12 micro-change 4-pin connector.
MICRO SWITCH 14CE products meet European and Asian CE
requirements.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS

MOUNTING
The 14CE Series is available with a 4-pin, M12 size connector in
MICRO SWITCH 14CE Series switches are mounted by using
two M5 screws. The mounting holes are counter bored to keep
the screw heads within the overall switch housing dimensions.

The housing on the 14CE Series has been designed to enable the user to build his own multiple plunger switch by gang
mounting several switches. All pin plunger and roller plunger
types are suitable for gang mounting. There is a 16 mm distance between the plungers. Both Series are very versatile that
even a lever-type version could be added at the end of the row.
BOTTOM EXIT OR SIDE EXIT ORIENTATION
The CE Series has been designed with a pre-wired cable or
connector fitted in the bottom of the switch housing. Other
variations are available with a side-exit cable or connector.
GOLD CONTACT VERSIONS
For low energy applications, gold contact versions of the 14CE
switches can be supplied upon request.
