E-C Series Altitude Switch

The E-C series is the most robust 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. An integral port fitting allows easy testing and remote sensing while an O-ring sealed cover provides an environment seal.

Typical uses include aircraft cabin air pressure monitoring.

For a low-profile, non-environmentally sealed alternative, refer to the A-C series. For qualification information, please consult the sales or engineering departments.

Features

  • Intended for gaseous media
  • Environmentally sealed
