A-C Series Altitude Switch
The A-C series is the most lightweight and low profile altitude switch in the Precision Sensors product line. The capsule based sensing element provides repeatable and precise absolute pressure threshold detection by sensing changes in the ambient air pressure compared to an evacuated capsule. The skeletal construction removes the need for bulky pressure fittings.
Typical uses include aircraft cabin air pressure monitoring.
For an environmentally sealed alternative, refer to the E-C series. For qualification information, please consult the sales or engineering departments.
Features
- Intended for gaseous media
- Low profile skeletal design
- Ni-Span-C capsule provides superior setpoint stability over temperature
- Custom configurations available upon request
