We offer liquid level sensors with reed switch reliability in numerous standard and custom configurations. Our single point fluid level switches can be arranged to have the switching element "close" or "open" when the level decreases. Switch orientation options include horizontal and vertical (top or bottom entry), depending upon the configuration chosen. All of our housings have at least IP-65 enclosure rating and both external and internal fit liquid level switches are available.
TE provides a diverse range of vertical and horizontal liquid level switches based on reed switch technology that are available in multiple materials and switching, fitting, and cable options. So, what makes TE products the best choice for your diverse industry applications? Our liquid level switches offer the following advantages:
Liquid level switches are a workhorse of modern industry. Simple, high-performance, low-cost, and long-lasting, they perform critical operations across diverse industrial and chemical applications. Like the name signifies, these switches detect liquid levels in industrial tanks and other units.
By so doing, they maintain chemical ratios in mixed products, help protect valuable equipment from overheating, help reduce fire risks, and deliver many other benefits.
Boiler Feed Tanks
Liquid level sensors control the pump in boiler feed tanks to maintain a precise water level in steam generators. This prevents overheating of the appliance due to insufficient water level. The sensor is comprised of Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS)-approved glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide.
Oil Well Monitoring
An oil well management company uses to remotely monitor the levels of low-producing oil wells in two states. By using the switches, the company is able to send trucks only when wells are ready to be emptied, avoiding unnecessary trips. In addition, the firm can monitor levels to avoid pumps running dry, preventing the damage of costly equipment.
Liquid level switches from TE Connectivity are rugged and reliable solutions for industrial liquid level monitoring. Available in multiple configurations including vertical mount and side mount up to 90° angle.
Liquid level switches from TE Connectivity use reed switch technology delivering an extended product life of 10M+ cycles, high electrical load capacity, low contact resistance, and UL approvals. Our liquid level switches are offered in a wide range of standard and custom options.
Q: What mounting configurations are available?
A: Configurations are available for top and bottom mounting as well as horizontal or side mounting. Internal and external fit versions are also available.
Q: What is the typical operating temperature range?
A: Typical operating temperature range is -30°C to +130°C, but can vary by product type and materials.
Q: What type of output options are available?
A: Output types range from "normally open" or "normally closed" in both single pole single throw (SPST) and single pole double throw (SPDT) variations.
Q: What types of liquids are compatible with these switches?
A: The switches can be used in a wide variety of liquids including potable water, wastewater, coolant, fuel tanks, urea tanks, and hydraulic systems.
Q: What is the maximum switching voltage allowable?
A: Typically, the switches can handle 250VAC or 200VDC, but it varies by model number.
Q: What type of switching technology is used in these switches?
A: TE’s liquid-level switches utilize reed switch technology which is an electrical switch operated by an applied magnetic field. Reed switch technology is a technology with many years of proven reliability.
