Use this Sensata Cynergy3 vertical float switch to control liquid supply to small tanks. This compact component can be mounted either at the top or bottom of your tank, making it a versatile choice. It's made of a durable nylon material that's resistant to impact as well as to water, hot liquids and oils, making it ideal for submersion in harsh substances. This component has a maximum switching current of just 0.6A for energy-efficient operation. It's commonly used for small-scale applications such as vending equipment.

• Nitrile rubber gasket material prevents leakage for optimal performance
• Switching action can be reversed by inverting the switch for versatile functionality
• Wide operating temperature range of -20°C to +75°Cfor use in harsh environments
• Can detect fluids with a minimum specific gravity of 0.8, making it suitable for use in most oil and chemical tanks

Specific gravity, also called relative density, is the ratio between the density of an object and a reference substance, typically water. You can use this value to determine whether an object will sink or float in the reference substance. A specific gravity greater than one means the object will sink, while a specific gravity that's less than one means it will float.
