Although it doesn't matter if you connect COM to common (ground/black) and NC/NO to signal.

If you're looking to use the microswitch as a true limit switch to stop the motor and you're using the CAN bus, look into wiring the switch up to the jaguar itself. It's much safer because it's a hardware thing (it's also faster, so no more bent/crushed switches).
