Float Switch – 5 Metres Cable, 0.46 mm² (0.50 mm² nominal)

Detailed Description:
This float switch features a 5-metre length cable with conductor cross-section of approximately 0.46 mm² (nominally around 0.50 mm²), making it suitable for level-sensing and control applications where a longer drop or remote mounting is required. It is designed to detect the rising or falling level of liquid in tanks, sumps, reservoirs or other fluid containment systems and to trigger a pump, alarm or other control device when the float reaches a preset angle or level.

Key Features:

• Cable length: 5 metres — allows deeper or more remote placement of the float sensor.

• Conductor size: ~0.46 mm² (≈0.50 mm² nominal) — offers sufficient current-carrying capacity for typical control circuits, assuming wiring and voltage drop are appropriate for your application.

• Float actuator: Durable construction (material depending on model: polypropylene, HDPE, etc) suitable for water or compatible fluids.

• Switch contact / output: Typically normally-open (NO) or normally-closed (NC) or changeover (SPDT) depending on variant — check model specification.

• Applications: Pump control (automatic on/off based on level), high/low level alarm, overflow protection, sump emptying, general fluid-level monitoring.

• Installation: Immerse or mount the float in the fluid medium; the cable must be secured and routed properly; ensure the float has freedom to rise/fall without obstruction.

• Electrical/environmental considerations: Ensure the switch’s voltage and current ratings match your control circuit; check compatibility with the fluid, temperature and pressure of the installation.

• Benefits: A longer cable enables flexibility in installation (e.g., deeper tanks, remote installations) while maintaining a moderate conductor size for control signals; helps integrate into existing level control systems with minimal wiring modifications.
