Product Overview
Honeywell MICRO SWITCH 914CE20-3 is a heavy-duty miniature enclosed limit switch from the 914CE series, featuring a wobble coil spring wire actuator for multidirectional object detection. The die-cast zinc housing is sealed with a fluorocarbon diaphragm and epoxy-encapsulated internal assembly, giving it NEMA 1/2/3/3R/4/6/6P/13 and IP66/IP67/IP68 ratings. SPDT snap-action contacts and a bottom-exit pre-wired 4-conductor UL cable make for straightforward integration into existing control circuits.
Key Features
- Actuator: wobble coil spring wire, multidirectional actuation from any approach angle
- Contact configuration: 1NC/1NO SPDT snap-action
- Electrical rating: 5A at 250VAC; 1/10 HP at 125/250VAC
- Pre-wired 4-conductor gray-jacketed UL cable; approximately 32 inches; black, white, red, green leads
- Housing: die-cast zinc with fluorocarbon diaphragm sealing and epoxy-encapsulated internals
- Environmental ratings: NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P, 13; IP66, IP67, IP68
- Dual-hole front/rear chassis mounting profile
- Manufactured in United Kingdom; UL and CSA listed
Applications
- Maintenance technician replacing a faulty limit switch on a production line where the worn-out part cannot be ordered through normal channels quickly - drop-in swap, reconnect the cable, resume operation
- Machine builder integrating end-of-travel detection on a moving carriage where the contact approach direction varies by cycle - wobble stick accommodates angular variation without precise actuator alignment
- Automation engineer positioning this switch at a safety interlock point on a guarded enclosure, routing the pre-wired cable directly to the PLC input without additional wiring labor
- Robotics lab engineer wiring the switch into a test fixture to detect workpiece presence from unpredictable approach angles during prototype validation runs
- Conveyor and material handling system integrators monitoring door position, jam detection, or end-stop confirmation in wet or dusty environments where IP67/IP68 sealing keeps the switch alive
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this switch compatible with a standard PLC discrete input?
Yes. The SPDT contacts close and open a dry circuit; any discrete input rated for 5A at 250VAC or lower will work. Wire the common, NC, and NO leads to match your control logic.
What is the cable length and conductor count?
The cable measures approximately 32 inches and carries four conductors (black, white, red, green) in a gray jacket.
Does this switch require a specific mounting hardware size?
The dual-hole chassis profile accepts M5 or #10 screws for front or rear panel mounting.
What operating temperature range is this model rated for?
0 to 105°C (32 to 221°F).
Is any additional hardware or mating connector included?
Not included. The switch ships as shown with the pre-wired cable only.
A wobble stick that survived a government facility and still reads factory-fresh - the next machine it watches over gets the benefit of all that stored patience.
