Festo Pressure Switch

Use this reliable angled pressure switch from Festo to regulate your pneumatic system. It's easily detachable from its actuator and maintains pressure, meaning you won't have to pressurise the actuator during maintenance and reinstallation. There's a diode in its electrical circuit to ensure that current flows in only one direction, which supports reliable function. The unit's socket has an earthing pin to protect your application from power surges. With an operating pressure range between 1 and 12 bar, this is an ideal option for medium-duty applications.

• Wide ambient temperature range between -40°C and +90°C makes it suitable for use in harsh conditions
• IP65 rating means it's resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets
• LED indicator for visual display of the switch's operating status
• Permissible current load of 8A, ideal for medium-duty to heavy-duty applications

• Food and beverage production
• Oil and gas industry
• Water treatment plants
• Air compressors

This plug socket has a 4-pin connection. There's a normally closed pin, a normally open pin, an operating voltage pin and an earthing pin.
