The **CJS2** (specifically referring to the **CJS2 Series** by manufacturers like SMC) is a miniature pneumatic cylinder. While the body is mechanical, the "electronic parts" associated with it primarily involve the **Auto Switches** used for position sensing.
Below is a breakdown of the electronic components and technical specifications related to the CJS2 series.

### 1. Primary Electronic Component: Auto Switches
Since the CJS2 is a miniature cylinder (bore sizes 6mm to 16mm), it uses specialized small-footprint sensors to detect the piston's position.
| Component Type | Part Examples | Function |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Reed Switch** | D-A90, D-A93 | Uses a mechanical contact that closes in the presence of a magnetic field. Simple, 2-wire setup. |
| **Solid State Switch** | D-M9N, D-M9P, D-M9B | Uses a Hall Effect sensor. No moving parts, longer life, and faster response times. |
| **Magnetic Ring** | Internal | A permanent magnet mounted on the piston inside the cylinder that triggers the external switches. |

### 2. Technical Specifications of Sensors
When integrating the CJS2 into an electronic control system (like a PLC), these electrical parameters are critical:
| Feature | Solid State (NPN/PNP) | Reed Switch |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Load Voltage** | 24V DC (typical) | 24V DC / 100V AC |
| **Current Consumption** | < 10mA | None |
| **Response Time** | < 1ms | < 1.2ms |
| **Indicator Light** | Red/Green LED | Red LED |
| **Wiring** | 3-wire (VCC, GND, Out) | 2-wire |

### 3. Wiring Configuration
To connect the electronic sensors of a CJS2 to a controller, the following logic is typically used:
#### NPN Output (Sinking)
Used primarily in Asian markets/controllers.
```python
# Connection Logic
Brown -> 24V DC (+)
Blue -> 0V DC (-)
Black -> PLC Input (Sinking)
```
#### PNP Output (Sourcing)
Used primarily in European/North American markets.
```python
# Connection Logic
Brown -> 24V DC (+)
Blue -> 0V DC (-)
Black -> PLC Input (Sourcing)
```

### 4. Mounting Hardware
Because the CJS2 is extremely small, the electronic switches are not screwed directly into the body but are held by:
* **Switch Mounting Brackets:** Specific bands that wrap around the cylinder tube.
* **Rail Grooves:** Some variants allow the switch to slide into a precision track.
