Our Horizontal Float Level Sensors, manufactured by PIC GmbH, are specially designed to be mounted from outside of the tank.  Their seal is made to secure and seal safely around the required drilling hole.  They can be fitted to either the bottom of a fluid container or the top, above the water line.

Available to suit either 140VAC or 250VAC applications, the PLS-92A series are versatile products manufactured to a high specification.  The float is attached by a hinge to the sensor housing and the hinge rises or falls as the fluid level increases or decreases.

What do you look for from a Distributor of low volt push button switches?  Having experienced an increase in the sales of our 12V and 24V push switches, we review some of the points mentioned by our customers when sourcing these products: 

Flexibility – there are many different market applications out there and a distributor has to be flexible to meet these demands.  Flexibility manifests itself in various ways.  For example, the wide choice of products available, the ability to offer customisation and the management of lead-times to meet urgent production schedules.

Low MOQs – minimum order quantities are sometimes challenging for a customer.  We are pleased to offer low MOQs for standard products.  With regards to customised items, we will always work closely with the manufacturer and the customer to ensure MOQs are manageable for both parties.

Lead-times – Our lead-times are usually 6-8 weeks, sometimes less, which is a valuable selling point considering how contentious this issue is currently.  Due to the considerable product choice available, we are unable to hold stock of every item.  Subsequently, short lead-times are also important to us as a Distributor.

Scheduled orders – we are happy to accept scheduled orders.  This assists customers with managing lead-times as well as providing confidence that the product is available when required.

Stylish and well-designed product – the aesthetics of the switch is extremely important as many of the applications require a “stand-out” device that compliments the overall design.

Durable and robust switches – along with standard IP40 rated switches, we offer IP65 and IP67 ratings making them suitable for challenging environments.
