Product Description:SP0402

• Wide Pressure Range:

  • The Emerson SP0402 offers a wide adjustable pressure range that can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of different applications. It typically covers pressure ranges from low (e.g., 0.5 psi) to high pressures (e.g., 600 psi), depending on the model and configuration.

• Adjustable Setpoint:

  • The pressure setpoint, or the specific pressure at which the switch activates or deactivates, is fully adjustable. This feature allows users to customize the pressure threshold to meet the needs of their specific system, whether they are monitoring refrigerant pressure, hydraulic pressure, or other critical parameters.

• Switch Type (SPST/SPDT):

  • The SP0402 is available in SPST (Single Pole, Single Throw) and SPDT (Single Pole, Double Throw) configurations. This means it can either control a single circuit (on/off) or multiple circuits (with separate on/off control for two devices) depending on the needs of the application.

• Durable and Reliable Construction:

  • The switch is built for long-lasting performance in industrial environments. The construction materials are selected for durability, including corrosion-resistant options such as stainless steel or brass for key components. This ensures reliable operation even in harsh environments, including outdoor settings or systems exposed to chemicals or moisture.
