Matelec FSW-12551 | 9006 Liquid Float Switch 50M Cable Length

The Matelec FSW-12551 is a 9006 series liquid float switch featuring a 50 metre neoprene cable, built for long-range and deep tank level control in electrical, industrial, and water management systems. Designed for normally open or normally closed switching, it uses a microswitch that activates at a 25° angle from horizontal.

This float switch supports 240V AC operation, rated at 6A, and offers high resistance to acids, oils, and alkalis thanks to its robust ABS housing. With a protection rating of IP68 at 20m depth, it's suited for demanding submersion applications. The design includes a sliding detent action that minimises false triggering from wave motion and ensures consistent switching accuracy.
