What makes our switches better?
Compact construction for minimal real estate on equipment
Gang mounting capability to provide a multi-plunger
limit switch
Rugged, die-cast zinc housing for demanding environments
Variety of cable length options and choice of side or bottom exit
cable/connector for design flexibility
Functionality over a wide temperature range with factory sealed
connectors or wiring
MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series
Compact Precision Limit Switches
All MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series compact enclosed switches incorporate uorocarbon 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 require-
ments. Versions with a boot seal also meet NEMA 12 requirements (dust, falling dirt, liquid media with solid contami-
nates). 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 oor
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™ 14CE products meet
worldwide CE requirements.

Features
and Benefits
RUGGED, COMPACT CONSTRUCTION
MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE Series limit switches’ compact construction requires
minimal real estate on equipment. Consistent performance is delivered in
many demanding environments where petroleum, synthetic or water based fluids
are present. Its die-cast zinc housing and fluorocarbon diaphragm seal maintain
a tightly sealed, IP65/66/67/68 and NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 12 (boot seal), 13
rugged package.
CUSTOMIZATION
Switches are pre-leaded (harmonized CENELEC cable) or supplied with a M12
four-pin connector to decrease installation time. 14CE Series’ wide selection
of actuators minimize installation or time issues. Cable length variations are
available for equipment requiring different cable lengths with side and bottom exit
cable/connector options for equipment flexibility.
COMPACT DESIGN
Rugged, compact switch designed with the common 25 mm mounting
centers. The 14CE Series is engineered with MICRO SWITCH™ SM switches for
consistent, precise actuation.
LONG LIFE
Mechanical life up to five million cycles for wobble actuators, and up to ten million
cycles for all other actuators delivers long-lasting performance.
DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
Gang mounting capability provides a multi-plunger limit switch option. Low
temperature variants are available for indoor and outdoor applications.
GLOBAL APPLICATIONS
MICRO SWITCH™ 14CE limit switches have CE approval for world-wide use.
High performance switch for small spaces

MOUNTING
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.
GANG MOUNT CAPABILITY
The housing on the 14CE Series has been designed to enable
the user to build his own multiple plunger switch by gang mount-
ing 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 con-
nector tted 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 (up to 30 Vdc, 1 A), gold contact ver-
sions of the 14CE switches can be supplied upon request.
