Series 142P8 Ultra Low Vacuum / Pressure Switch

Ultra low pressure and vacuum to pressure crossover switch. Unique construction using efficient Nega-Rate® Belleville
disc spring for stable set points and high proof pressure. Explosion proof enclosure and wide range of
wetted materials makes this switch especially well suited for hazardous or corrosive atmospheres.
