Overview
The CSH 012M1A float switch is a mechanical level-sensing switch designed for pump and tank control in industrial and commercial water applications. It delivers 120VAC, 15A, 1/2HP ratings with a feed-through plug configuration. This float switch operates on simple mechanical principle—as liquid level rises or falls, the float arm triggers the internal switch contact, making it ideal for sump pump control, water tank fill/drain systems, and reservoir management.
