CP Series Plastic 2NO+2NO Joystick Stay Put 4 Positions 22 mm Control Unit
For control of 4-axis, up/down and left/right — the CP707DJ40 holds whichever direction you move it to rather than snapping back, giving sustained 2-axis directional drive where an operator needs the lever to stay engaged. It's priced well below premium-brand equivalents, wires in with simple screw terminals, and is held in UK stock for fast dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between "stay put" and "spring return"?
Stay put means the lever holds whichever of the four directions you move it to until manually returned — unlike the spring-return version (CP707DJ41), which self-centres and breaks contact as soon as you let go.
What does "4 positions" mean here?
The lever moves on two axes — up/down and left/right — giving four directions of travel, each with its own normally-open contact pair (2NO+2NO total).
Is it suitable for washdown or outdoor equipment?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
Can I use this in continuous-duty applications?
Yes — with a 500,000 mechanical operation life rating, it's built for sustained industrial and OEM equipment use.
