The Moujen MJ2-1701 is a lever microswitch rated 15 Amp, with normally open, normally closed and common contacts. The extended lever reaches out to meet the moving part, so a cam or machine carriage can trip it from the side without needing to press straight down onto a plunger.

At 15A on 125 or 250V AC it carries well above typical microswitch duty, and the quarter horsepower rating at 250V AC means it can switch a small motor directly instead of driving a contactor coil. IP55 protection covers dust and low pressure water for normal machine and workshop conditions. UL Listed and CE Mark certified, made in Taiwan.

Related Limit and Micro Switches

Actuator type depends on how the moving part arrives. For a cam pressing straight down, the roller plunger limit switch AM-1308 shares the same 15A rating with a roller top plunger. Where the lever length needs setting, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-8108 and the adjustable rod limit switch AZ-8107 cover 5A duty at IP65.

For heavier or outdoor duty, the adjustable roller lever limit switch AZ-5108 has a metal body at 10A, and the big wheel limit switch AZ-5108L is IP67 rated for lifts and cranes. For angled approach, the cross roller plunger limit switch ME-8122 accepts contact from more than one side.

FAQ,s

What is a lever microswitch?

It is a compact switch with a lever arm as the actuator. A moving part presses the lever, the internal contacts change over, and the signal tells the controller to stop, reverse or start the next step.

What does NO NC mean on this switch?

It has a normally open contact, a normally closed contact and a shared common terminal. When the lever operates, the NO closes and the NC opens, giving two signals from one device.

Why choose a lever over a plunger?

A lever reaches out to meet the moving part, so it works with side approach and tolerates small alignment errors. A plunger needs the part to press straight down onto it.

Can it switch a motor directly?

Yes, up to a quarter horsepower at 250V AC and an eighth at 125V AC. Larger motors should run through a contactor with the switch driving the coil.

Is IP55 enough for a workshop?

IP55 resists dust and low pressure water, which covers most indoor machine and workshop conditions. For washdown or coolant heavy areas, choose an IP65 or IP67 rated model.

Is a catalog available?

Yes, the MJ2 Series catalog is linked in the specifications above.
