Out of Stock

This IP68-rated square float switch is a robust liquid level control device with a 10-meter cable, designed for automatic pump control and high/low-level alarms in tanks and wells. It operates on a wide AC voltage range (250V~380V) and is suitable for use with non-flammable liquids, sewage, and many industrial fluids.

Features

  • High-Current Switching: Rated for 10A (8A @ 250V AC, 4A @ 380V AC) for direct control of pumps, motors, and solenoid valves.
  • Extended 10-Meter Cable: Provides flexible installation for deep tanks, sumps, and wells.
  • IP68 Waterproof & Hermetic Seal: Double-chamber design with remolded finish ensures reliable operation in fully submerged conditions.
  • Durable Plastic Housing: Resistant to water, sewage, oils, and many common acids/alkalis (non-explosion-proof).
  • Long Operational Life: Rated for 100,000 electrical cycles and 500,000 mechanical cycles.

Description

The square float switch operates on a simple mechanical principle: as the liquid level changes, the buoyant float moves, actuating an internal hermetically sealed snap-action switch. This provides a direct, reliable ON/OFF signal for liquid level control without requiring external power for the sensing element itself.

Engineered for industrial environments, its IP68-rated plastic housing and 0.1 MPa pressure rating ensure durability in submerged applications. The switch is designed for integration into automatic pumping systems, tank level alarms, and liquid transfer controls, offering a cost-effective and maintenance-free solution for level monitoring.

Key Features

  • Industrial-grade snap-action switch rated for high inrush currents.
  • Large float casing provides ample buoyancy for stable, trouble-free operation in various liquid densities.
  • Hermetically sealed switch chamber prevents liquid ingress and ensures long-term reliability.
  • Wide operating temperature range from 0°C to 75°C.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for OEM and industrial maintenance applications.
  • Square float design (103x78x45 mm) offers stable actuation with minimal sticking.

Applications

  • Automatic pump control in water storage tanks, sump pits, and wells.
  • High/low-level alarm systems for industrial chemical tanks and oil separators.
  • Liquid level management in agricultural irrigation and livestock watering systems.
  • Control of solenoid valves in wastewater treatment and transfer stations.
  • Boiler feedwater tank level monitoring and pump protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum switching current and voltage for this float switch?

The switch is rated for a maximum of 10 Amps AC. Specific ratings are 8 Amps at 250 Volts AC and 4 Amps at 380 Volts AC. It is designed for direct control of AC pumps, motors, and solenoid valves within these limits.

Can this float switch be used in oil or chemical tanks?

Yes, the plastic housing is resistant to water, sewage, oils, and many common acids and alkalis. However, it is crucial to verify chemical compatibility for specific aggressive fluids. Please note this switch is NOT explosion-proof and should not be used in flammable or explosive atmospheres without an appropriate intrinsic safety (Ex i) isolator.

How do I wire and install this float switch for pump control?

The switch acts as a simple SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) mechanical contact. Wire it in series with the power line to the pump control circuit or relay coil. For high-level pump shut-off, mount the float so the switch opens when the liquid rises. For low-level pump start or alarm, mount it so the switch closes when the liquid falls. Ensure the IP68 seal at the cable gland is properly tightened.

What is the difference between electrical life and mechanical life?

Electrical life (100,000 cycles) refers to the number of reliable switching operations under the rated electrical load (10A). Mechanical life (500,000 cycles) is the number of physical actuations the float mechanism can endure without electrical load. The mechanical life is typically longer as it excludes electrical contact wear.
