Description

The FS-90/1 flow switch from TE Connectivity operates on a mechanical principle where fluid flow moves an internal shuttle, which actuates a single-pole, single-throw, normally open (SPST-NO) electrical switch. This simple, reliable design provides a direct digital signal for flow presence, making it ideal for integration into PLCs, alarm systems, and equipment protection circuits.

Engineered for water and compatible with air, the switch features a brass housing and a copper shuttle for long-term reliability in various media. Its robust construction withstands pressures up to 10 bar at 20°C and vibrations up to 35g, ensuring stable operation in industrial settings such as cooling systems, filtration units, and fluid dispensing equipment.

Key Features

  • SPST-NO (Form A) switch contact with ruthenium contacts for reliable electrical switching.
  • Precision-calibrated to actuate at a flow rate of 3 liters per minute (3000 ml/min).
  • High-grade brass housing provides excellent mechanical strength and environmental resistance.
  • Low-pressure-drop Noryl shuttle design ensures minimal flow restriction and high sensitivity.
  • Broad operating temperature range from -25°C to +85°C for versatile application deployment.
  • Maximum switching capacity of 1A @ 250VAC or 200VDC / 40W for direct control of relays or indicators.
  • Suitable for mounting in any orientation, offering flexible installation in piping systems.
  • Compact dimensions for easy integration into space-constrained fluidic assemblies.

Applications

  • Pump dry-run protection and flow failure alarms in water circulation and cooling systems.
  • Flow verification in industrial process lines, chemical dosing systems, and filtration units.
  • HVAC system monitoring for chiller flow, condenser water, and fan coil unit operation.
  • Liquid level control in tanks using a bypass flow method.
  • Equipment interlock systems requiring proof of flow before enabling heaters or other components.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the electrical configuration and rating of the FS-90/1 flow switch contacts?

The FS-90/1 features a Single-Pole Single-Throw Normally Open (SPST-NO or Form A) switch contact. The contacts are rated for a maximum of 1 Amp at 250 Volts AC or 200 Volts DC, with a switching load of 40 Watts. This allows it to directly control small relays, indicator lamps, or provide a digital input signal to a PLC or controller upon flow detection.

At what exact flow rate does this switch activate, and what media is it compatible with?

The switch is calibrated to actuate (close the SPST-NO contacts) at a flow rate of 3 liters per minute (3000 ml/min). It is designed and tested for use with water and is also suitable for air flow switching applications. The internal shuttle and housing materials are compatible with these media for reliable long-term operation.

What are the pressure, temperature, and mounting limitations for this flow switch?

The switch can withstand a maximum operating pressure of 10 bar (approximately 145 psi) at 20°C. Its operating temperature range is from -25°C to +85°C. It is designed for mounting in any orientation (horizontal or vertical) within the pipe, and its compact brass housing with 15mm threads allows for straightforward installation into standard piping.
