Product Overview

MPL designs miniature electro-mechanical pressure, vacuum and differential switches based on simple, reliable sensing techniques. Their robust design and long operating life make them ideal for monitoring and control of critical circuits.

MPL 500 Series

MPL 500 Series switches offer pressure, vacuum and differential sensors, sensitive to as low as 0.05 in/H 2 O. The accuracy and reliability of these switches offer the designer an excellent general purpose low pressure to electric interface for monitoring and control applications. Miniature size and low cost make the 500 Series the ideal switches for OEM applications.

0.05 in/H2O to 20 psi, 10 to 20 mA
No Deadband, -40 to +250F, 100,000,000 cycles.

MPL 600 Series

MPL 600 Series switches offer pressure or vacuum sensors which combine the features of the MPL 500 Series switches with snap action switching for higher current capacity, SPDT contact form, and switch deadbands (also referred to as mechanical differential or hysteresis). Miniature size and low cost make the MPL 600 Series switches ideal for OEM applications.

1.50 in/H2O to 45 psi, 0.1 to 25A
Deadband, -40 to +185F, 1,000,000 cycles

MPL 808

The MPL 808 switches extend the range of the MPL 600-style switches with snap-action in an all-metal housing, designed for moderately higher pressures. Actuation may be specified between 10 psi and 250 psi.

10 psi to 250 psi (consult factory), 0.1 to 25A
Deadband, -40 to +185F, 1,000,000 cycles

MPL 9370

MPL 9370 Series switches offer pressure, vacuum and differential models capable of sensing very low setpoints and switching current up to 5A resistive, 2.5A inductive. Designed for use in the HVAC industry, where reliable air proving is critical to both performance and customer safety, the MPL 9370 Series switch is a favorite with leading manufacturers of gas-fired warm air furnaces and water heaters.
