Generic Square Float Switch 4M Cable - IP68 Plastic Housing

The switch contacts are rated for a maximum of 10 Amps at 250 Volts AC, or 4 Amps at 380 Volts AC. It is designed to directly control pumps, solenoid valves, or alarm relays within these limits. Always ensure your connected load does not exceed these ratings for safe and reliable operation.

The plastic housing is IP68 rated and resistant to water, sewage, oils, and weak acids or alkalis. For highly corrosive media like strong acids, saltwater, or solvents, verify the plastic material compatibility (typically PP or PVC) for long-term chemical resistance, as prolonged exposure to incompatible chemicals may degrade the housing.

Mount the switch body securely at the desired location on the tank wall. The actuation level is fixed by the float's buoyancy and cable attachment point. The 4-meter cable allows flexible routing. The switch toggles when the float rises or falls with the liquid, typically functioning as a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) normally-open or normally-closed contact.

No, this standard float switch is not explosion-proof. For use in potentially explosive atmospheres (e.g., fuel tanks), it must be used in conjunction with an appropriate intrinsically safe (Ex) isolator or barrier unit installed in a safe area, as per the product note, to meet safety regulations.
