Pressure Switch Buying Guide

When selecting a pressure switch, ensure it meets the specific requirements of your application, considering pressure range and media compatibility.

Pay attention to the switch's electrical rating and make sure it aligns with your system's requirements. Additionally, consider the environmental conditions it will be exposed to, such as temperature fluctuations or potential exposure to corrosive substances.

  • Verify the pressure range aligns with your system.
  • Ensure media compatibility for fluids or gases.
  • Check electrical ratings match application needs.
  • Evaluate durability for environmental conditions.
