A vertical float switch for tanks: a magnet inside the sliding float closes a reed contact in the stem as the liquid rises past it. It is a dry contact with no electronics, so it needs no supply at all - wire it to a digital input with a pull-up and read it like a button. The threaded body and nut mount it through a tank wall or lid, which makes it the straightforward way to signal tank-full, tank-empty or dry-run to a pump controller.

Key features

  • Detects liquid crossing one fixed level
  • Dry contact - no supply voltage needed
  • Magnet in the float, reed switch in the stem
  • Threaded body and nut for tank-wall mounting
  • Two flying leads, polarity does not matter
  • Switch a relay with it rather than a mains load
