Compressor Switch Sensor Generic 150-300 PSI

Description

Product Overview

The Generic Compressor Switch Sensor is engineered for automotive air‑conditioning systems and compressor pressure monitoring. Measuring a range of 150 – 300 PSI with an accuracy of ±3%, this sensor converts pressure changes into a clean electrical signal, enabling precise control of cooling cycles. Constructed from high‑grade polymer housing, the unit measures just 0.01 × 0.01 × 0.01 inches and weighs only 0.1 ounce, making it exceptionally lightweight and easy to mount in confined engine bays. The device carries the model identifiers LR012018, LR002652, and LR004079, and complies with FAN‑RC‑PARTS manufacturing standards for durability and consistent performance.

Usage

Designed for professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts, this sensor excels in monitoring refrigerant pressure within vehicle AC systems, ensuring optimal cooling efficiency and preventing compressor damage. It is also suitable for broader automotive applications such as pressure‑sensitive safety switches and diagnostic tools. Installation requires connecting the sensor’s electrical output to the vehicle’s control module, after which real‑time pressure data can be displayed on the dashboard or logged for maintenance analysis.
