D16M Series Differential Pressure Switch

The D16M is the most versatile and lowest profile differential pressure switch in the Precision Sensors product line. It incorporates proven diaphragm and snap-spring technology into a compact package which features excellent repeatability and a higher level of resistance to shock and vibration than similar models. Optional hermetically sealed contacts make the D16M well suited when vapor ignition is a concern.

For a similar switch with a higher resistance to shock and vibration, refer to the D56M.

Typical uses include fuel and oil filter systems.

For a more sensitive model, refer to the D56M. For qualification information, please consult the sales or engineering departments.
