MICRO SWITCH™ 914CE Series
Compact Precision Limit Switches
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 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, includ-
ing plain 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™ 914CE products meet
North American, cURus standards, as well as European CE requirements.

Features
and Benefits
RUGGED, COMPACT CONSTRUCTION
MICRO SWITCH™ 914CE Series limit switches’ compact construction means
minimal real estate on equipment.
Delivers consistent performance in many
demanding environments where petroleum, synthetic or water based fluids are
present. Its die-cast zinc housing and fluorocarbon diaphragm maintain a tightly
sealed, NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12 (boot seal), and 13 IP66/67/68
rugged package.
Gang-mounting option
CUSTOMIZATION
Switches are
pre-leaded
(UL cable) or supplied with a
M12 four-pin connector
to decrease installation time. 914CE Series’ wide selection of actuators
minimize
installation or time issues.
Cable length variations for equipment requiring
different cable lengths with side and bottom exit cable/connector options for
equipment flexibility.
COMPACT DESIGN
Rugged, compact switch with a
25 mm hole-hole mounting
footprint.
Engineered with a MICRO SWITCH™ SM switch for
consistent, precise
actuation.
High performance switch for small spaces
LONG LIFE
Well suited for up to
10 million actuation cycles.
(Up to 5 million actuation cycles
for wobble actuators)
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Gang mounting capability to provide a
multi-plunger limit switch. Low
temperature variants
available for indoor and outdoor applications.
GLOBAL APPLICATIONS
