Overview
Horizontal Side Float Switch Water Level PP Plastic Thread M16, 110V DC 0.5A, Cable 350 mm, for Aquariums and Tanks, Black

The horizontally arranged float switch is mounted on the side of the tank or reservoir and is used for automatic detection of liquid level. When the level changes, the float tilts around the pivot and the magnet inside activates the reed contact in the body, thereby controlling the connected device - pump, alarm, topping up or signalling. The PP plastic construction with a sealing O-ring ensures waterproof mounting and resistance to mildly chemical liquids. The sensor operates passively, without its own power supply, and is particularly suitable for aquariums, hydroponic systems and small tanks where there is no space for a conventional vertical float.

  • Side mounting into a hole in the tank wall - ideal where a vertical float cannot be placed
  • Moisture-resistant polypropylene PP body suitable for mildly chemical liquids
  • M16 thread with nut and sealing O-ring for waterproof fastening
  • Switching voltage up to 110V DC, current up to 0.5 A, switching power up to 10 W
  • Cable length approximately 350 mm, easy connection to the circuit
  • Body dimensions 92.5 x 40 mm, float diameter 17.5 mm
  • Operating temperature -10 to +60 °C
  • Maximum breakdown voltage 220V DC
  • Black matte plastic design with sealing washer ring
  • Passive reed contact without the need for the sensor's own power supply
  • Package contents: 1x float switch

The side float switch is a popular solution in aquaristics, hydroponics and small technological tanks where precise water level control is required without the sensor resting on the bottom. The float rotates on the pivot at a small angle and, at the extreme position, emits a short switching signal - it can be used for automatic topping up of evaporated water, to protect the pump from running dry, to signal overfilling of a marine aquarium and to control pumps in hydroponics. For proper function, it is important to connect the switch via a relay to ensure that the direct current breakdown does not exceed the maximum switching value. Compact dimensions and easy side mounting make it a versatile component for DIY home automation projects for filling and emptying tanks. The sensor operates maintenance-free for a long time and can withstand hundreds of thousands of activations without wear.
