FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
All MICRO SWITCH 914CE Series compact enclosed switches
incorporate fluorocarbon diaphragm sealing to provide reliable
protection, meeting NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, and 13, as well
as IP66, IP67, and IP68 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 plain plungers, roller plungers, side rotary, multidirectional wire, and manually operated. The switches are
also available with the industry standard, M12 micro-change
4-pin connector. MICRO SWITCH 914CE products meet
North American, cURus standards, as well as European CE
requirements.
VALUE TO CUSTOMERS
• Big performance in a small package
• Delivers consistent performance in many demanding
environments where petroleum, synthetic, or water based
fluids are present
• Configurable product platform for design versatility
Sensing and Internet of Things
• Rugged, compact construction means minimal real estate
on equipment
• Die-cast zinc housing and fluorocarbon diaphragm maintain
a tightly sealed, NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12 (boot seal), 13,
and IP66/67/68 package
• Pre-leaded (UL cable) or supplied with a M12 four-pin
connector
• Wide selection of actuators, cable length variations, and side
and bottom exit cable/connector options
• 25 mm hole-hole mounting footprint engineered with a
MICRO SWITCH SM switch for consistent, precise actuation
• Well suited for up to 10 million actuation cycles (Up to 5
million actuation cycles for wobble actuators)
• Gang mounting capability to provide a multi-plunger limit
switch
• Low temperature variants available for indoor and outdoor
applications
• cURus, CE approvals for world-wide use
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
• Machine tools
• Off-road equipment
• Material handling
• Dock locks and dock levelers
• Access and mobility solutions
• Textile machinery
• Robotics

The housing on the 914CE 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 types 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 fitted
in the bottom of the switch housing. Other variations are available with a side exit cable.
GOLD CONTACT VERSIONS
For low energy applications (up to 30 Vdc, 1 A), gold contact
versions of the 914CE switches can be supplied upon request.
