LS-1950 Series Single-Point Level Switches provide high temperature and pressure capabilities for high performance applications, including oils, water and chemicals. The materials of construction comply with FDA food contact regulations and the switch
is exceptionally accurate and rugged for higher temperatures and in pressurized or corrosive liquids.
Yes, very low currents (< 5ma) can prevent “cleaning” of the contacts or not have enough energy to maintain low contact resistance. 5ma is likely a good minimum for our standard 20 VA switch. But you also want enough voltage. Approximately, 5V, 5ma is a good minimum. For low current switching we recommend a 10 VA reed switch which can better handle lower loads. (1ma for example).
What is the life expectancy of a reed switch?
A reed switch is extremely rugged and designed to operate reliably for many years, under ideal conditions, up to about 2 million cycles. To achieve maximum service life, reed switches benefit from protected electrical supply.
LS-800 Series Multi-Point Level Switch is capable of supporting larger, more buoyant floats, and is physically stronger than other metallic models for better reliability in contaminated or turbulent media. LS-800 offers SPST or SPDT switches, and...
