This is our most sought after float switch kit, consisting of a 10 amp float switch board and a black side-entry polypropylene switch that can be used in: water, salt water, weak acids and more. The kit allows you to switch larger loads than a float switch can do alone, it also protects any living creatures in the water such as fish, animals, or people from shock by only putting a tiny fraction of the power being supplied / switched through the float. The life expectancy of the switch is drastically increased and performance of your sump, tank or device is massively improved. We have other versions of this kit available and various diagrams too. CHECK OUT THE DATASHEET for more information that is ready to print or share, if on the other hand you want to see it in action. Check out our videos! You will need a power supply or battery to power the board with DC power, if you are switching a DC device you can usually get a board in around the same power input as the device you are controlling and simply share the PSU as the board requires very little to run. Alternatively, if you are wanting to switch AC power such as mains voltage, you will need either a transformer or a separate battery to run the board. Just to note a ’12 volt’ board running on 12V DC can control a 240V AC device, the power supply does not interact with the output, it merely switches it.

Product Features

 
Board Input Voltage OptionsWe are currently producing this product in voltage options: 9V DC, 12V DC, and 24V DC. You will need a power supply, transformer or battery if you wish to switch mains voltage.
Float Switch PowerThe float switch will have the same as the board’s input voltage or lower put through it but only at a low amperage of around 5-25mA making it much safer than running for example mains voltage that close to water.
Switching FormSPDT – NO, COM, NC
Switching Power (Amps)Up to 10 amps continuous (10A) at 250V AC, OR 30V DC

Some less common voltage variants such as 3V, 36V DC and 48V DC may have slightly lower ratings of around 7 amps or 28V DC instead of 10 amps and 30V DC; this is due to the manufacturing process and space inside the component’s casing. If this is a problem, check out our other items or contact us!

Switch Response Time (ms)Usually less than 20ms – most tests show around 8ms.
General FeaturesInput polarity protection, Flywheel, resistive logic, high quality, polarity LED and signal LED to indicate float state and power state. Only a very low voltage goes through the float switch – usually less than 5 volts DC. Mains voltage is always isolated from the float switch or sensor.
Compatible withSelf standing but may be interfaced with Arduino, ARM, AVR, MCU, PIC, Motherboard, optical controller, our USB / Serial 32 channel controllers, Raspberry Pi, 8051, TTL, CMOS, Parallel ports and more
Special FeaturesNo special features other than those listed in general features above.

 

Suggested UsesAlarm, lighting, security system, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, sensor switch, fan control, heating, general home automation, emergency pump, aquaponics, fish tank sump, flood prevention, automatic watering systems,
