Float Sensor

Float Sensor (Liquid Level Switch)

The float sensor is a simple and reliable device used to detect liquid levels in tanks and containers. It works using a buoyant float that moves with the liquid level and triggers an internal switch, making it ideal for automatic level control and monitoring systems.

Key Features

• Float-Based Detection: Uses a mechanical float to sense liquid levels
• Digital Output: Provides ON/OFF signal (HIGH/LOW)
• Reversible Operation: Can be configured as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC)
• Easy Installation: Supports vertical or horizontal mounting
• No Calibration Required: Plug-and-play operation
• Durable & Reliable: Long lifespan with minimal maintenance

Applications

• Water Tank Monitoring: Detect full or empty levels
• Pump Automation: Automatic motor ON/OFF control
• Industrial Systems: Liquid level detection in tanks
• Aquariums & Irrigation: Maintain water levels
• DIY Electronics: Simple level sensing projects

Technical Specifications

• Operating Voltage: Up to 12V–24V (switch rating dependent)
• Output Type: Digital (switch contact)
• Switch Type: Normally Open (NO) / Normally Closed (NC)
• Mounting Type: Vertical / Horizontal
• Material: Plastic (commonly polypropylene)
• Temperature Range: Typically up to ~80°C
