Alternator Liquid Level Switch
The Madison switch monitors coolant or oil level in alternator systems using a side-mounted stainless-steel float. A selectable function lets the installer choose normally-open or normally-closed operation for the SPST contact. Rated for 240 V and 0.28 A, it suits low-voltage control circuits in industrial and heavy-duty automotive applications.
1/2 x 1/4 NPT Tank Connection
The 1/2 in x 1/4 in NPT fitting threads directly into a matching tank port without adapters. A 1/2 in conduit entry protects the wiring run. The 5 in overall length and 0.75 in float length keep the profile compact for tight engine compartments. Stainless-steel body, stem and float resist corrosion from coolant additives and oil.
Sustained High-Temperature Operation
The assembly withstands continuous exposure up to 392 degrees F and 300 psi without seal degradation. The 30 VA contact rating remains stable during prolonged duty cycles, avoiding the drift seen in snap-action switches that heat internally. Stainless construction eliminates plastic fatigue that can cause false trips after thousands of thermal cycles.
