Polypropylene Horizontal Float Switch Normally Open 250V AC

The Polypropylene Horizontal Float Switch is a reliable, normally open (NO) switch designed for liquid level detection and control in a variety of industrial and domestic applications. Crafted from durable polypropylene, it offers excellent chemical resistance and long-term performance in challenging environments.

This float switch operates across a broad temperature range from -20°C to 80°C, making it suitable for use in both cold and moderately hot liquids. It is designed to handle fluids with a specific gravity as low as 0.7g/cm³, ensuring accurate triggering even with lighter liquids. The robust construction ensures reliable switching for pump control, alarm systems, or automatic filling/draining sequences.

Electrical Specifications & Features

With a switching capacity of up to 250V AC (or 200V DC), this switch is versatile for various control circuits. It can handle a switching current of 1.5A and a switching power of 50VA, providing ample capacity for controlling small pumps, solenoids, or indicator lights. The compact, horizontal design allows for installation in confined spaces where vertical float switches may not fit, offering greater flexibility in tank and reservoir design.

Its simple, mechanical operation requires no external power to function, making it a failsafe and energy-efficient solution for level monitoring. The switch is ideal for use in water tanks, sumps, oil reservoirs, and chemical processing equipment where dependable level sensing is critical.

Physical Dimensions

The switch measures 43mm in height, 33mm in width, and has a depth of 15mm, contributing to its space-saving profile. With a weight of just 38 grams, it is easy to handle and install without adding significant load to mounting points.
