Honeywell 914CE Series Wire Limit Switch, SPDT, IP66, IP67, IP68, Die Cast Zinc Housing, 250V ac

This limit switch provides a Compact electromechanical position-sensing solution for industrial control and automation tasks. It uses a wire actuator to detect motion or end-of-travel events and delivers a single-pole double-throw switching action suited to control circuits. The device is built to operate in challenging environments where ingress protection and thermal resilience are required.

• Snap-action contacts for fast, reliable switching
• Rated for 250V AC and 30V DC to suit control voltages
• Wire actuator with 12.2N operating force for precise actuation
• Die-cast zinc housing offering mechanical protection
• Cable termination for straightforward wiring in installations
• Mechanical life of 10 million operations for extended service

• Suitable for conveyor end-of-travel detection in factories
• Ideal for machine guards and interlock sensing in assemblies
• Used with PLC inputs for position feedback in automation
• Can be used for limit detection on linear actuators
• Suitable for outdoor control cabinets requiring sealed sensors

It is specified to function between 0°C and 105°C, covering many industrial thermal conditions.

The enclosure meets IP66, IP67 and IP68 ratings, allowing protection against heavy sprays, temporary immersion and extended immersion as defined by those standards.

It is designed for vertical mounting, which aligns the actuator and internal mechanics for intended performance.

It carries multiple standards and approvals including CSA, cURus, EN, IEC, RoHS, UL and CE to satisfy various regulatory requirements.

UL, CSA.

Products in the 914CE series will only meet IP and NEMA standards when used in non-hazardous locations. They only satisfy the requirements when installed properly (as per instruction) and completely.

914CE limit switches are not emergency stop devices or safety devices. They must not be used in devices, applications and environments where injury can be incurred as a result of product failure.

IP Rating:
All models within the 914CE series meet IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68. This ensures that they are completely dust tight, offer protection against jets of water and can be immersed in water up to 3 m.

NEMA Rating:
Every 914CE limit switch also meets NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3R, 4, 6, 6P and 13 requirements.

Type 1: Allows for indoor use and offers a dregree of protection against access to harzardous parts by personnel. Enclosures that meet NEMA 1 also protect the enclosure against foreign solid obkects(such as indoor dirt).
Type 2: Allows for indoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide a degree of protection against foreign objects (such as falling dirt) and the ingress of water (light dripping or splashing).
Type 3: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain or snow). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 3R: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures primarily provide ingress protection against water (such as rain, snow or sleet). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 4: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain, snow or sleet alongside splashing water and hose directed water). Enclosures that meet NEMA 3 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 6: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from foreign objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as rain, snow or sleet alongside splashing water and hose directed water). Enclosures that meet NEMA 4 offer protection against ice forming externally.
Type 6P: Allows for indoor or outdoor use and provides a degree of protection against access to hazardous parts. The enclosures provide some protection from solid objects (such as falling dirt and windblown dust) and the ingress of water (such as hose directed water). Enclosures that meet the NEMA 6P requirement also offer protection against water when being submerged at a limited depth.
Type 13: Enclosures that meet Type 13 are suited to harsh environments. Enclosures can be used indoors and provide protection against access to hazardous parts. They offer protection against solid objects such as falling dirt, windblown dirt, fibres and lint. They provide a level of protection from dripping and splashing water and other liquids such as the splashing, seepage and spraying of oil and non-corrosive coolants.
