Built with a polypropylene (PP) float ball and body, it uses a magnetic reed switch mechanism to detect when liquid reaches a set level — triggering an open or closed circuit with no external power source required. Its small footprint, long service life, and compatibility with a wide range of liquids make it ideal for both DIY plumbing projects and industrial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're monitoring water tanks, sump systems, aquariums, chemical reservoirs, or food-processing equipment, this horizontal float switch delivers dependable on\/off switching at the exact level you need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade in Mainland China.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow It Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe float switch houses a sealed magnetic reed switch inside a non-magnetic PP tube. As liquid rises or falls, the buoyant float moves with it. When the float approaches the reed switch, the embedded magnet closes the contacts; as the float moves away, the contacts open. This simple mechanical action allows precise, hands-free level control without complex circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloat Ball Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene (PP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloat Body Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polypropylene (PP)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Contact Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Switching Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Switching Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Breakdown Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220V DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Carry Current:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.0A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Contact Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 mΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10°C to +60°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Horizontal (Down)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 PC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eNo external power required\u003c\/strong\u003e — purely mechanical switching action\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eCompact design\u003c\/strong\u003e — smaller than traditional mechanical switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eLong service life\u003c\/strong\u003e — sealed reed switch resists wear and corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eVersatile compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — works with water, chemicals, oils, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eWide temperature range\u003c\/strong\u003e — suitable for -10°C to +60°C environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eSimple installation\u003c\/strong\u003e — horizontal mount, no complex wiring or circuitry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHome water tanks and sump pumps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAquariums and fish tank water management — pair with our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/aquarium-suction-cup-clips-tube-heater-holders-5-pack\"\u003e5-Pack Aquarium Suction Cup Clips – Tube \u0026amp; Heater Holders\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFood and beverage processing equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePetrochemical and industrial liquid storage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDyeing and finishing machinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHydraulic systems and generating equipment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWater treatment and plumbing DIY projects — explore our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/non-contact-capacitive-water-level-sensor-3v-5v\"\u003eNon-Contact Capacitive Water Level Sensor 3.3V–5V\u003c\/a\u003e for a no-touch alternative\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 × PP Horizontal Float Switch (Liquid Water Level Sensor)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for other electrical components for your project?
