PCB Mount Pressure Switches

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) mount pressure switches are compact SPST switches designed for applications where moderate pressure accuracy is acceptable. Pressure ranges span from 6 inches of water to 65 PSIG. Actuation points are specified by the customer and set at the Presair factory, with select models offering field adjustment capability.

custom options

Wide variety of options available to meet original equipment manufacturers product requirements.

high quality

Highly stable with good repeat accuracy. All switches are 100% tested at high & low settings & at proof pressure.

safe & economical

Remote operation with complete electrical isolation. UL Recognized. Costs less than conventional controls

made in u.s.a.

Presair switches are designed & manufactured in Eau Claire, Wisconsin U.S.A.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) mount pressure switches are single-function controls with internal electrical contacts, designed for direct integration into printed circuit boards. These compact switches provide momentary switching logic and enable pneumatic actuation within electronic control circuits.

Built for space-constrained applications, these switches offer various connection styles and can also be retrofitted by attaching wire leads. Despite their small size, they support a broad pressure sensing range—from 6 inches of water to 65 PSIG—making them suitable for a wide range of low to moderate pressure systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

What is a printed circuit board (PCB) mount switch?

A PCB switch is a type of electrical switch that connect directly to a circuit board, and upon actuation at a specified range it turns on/off the application system it is connected with. Wire leads are also available for other applications where the PCB switch’s compact design is necessary.

Do you offer a double pole, single throw (DPST) PCB switch?

Yes. Contact our customer service team here for more information.

My application will expose the switch to hazardous chemicals and/or gases. How will the switch perform?

We offer a variety of diaphragm material options to meet different application needs.  Here’s a guide to the different options available.

What do you mean by inches of water rising / falling?

Pressure switches are measured by inches of water, or PSI. Once the switch rises or falls the contacts will open and close based on the hysteresis, or deadband.

Read a more   detailed explanation here.

What’s the difference between a pressure and vacuum switch?

Pressure switches push against the diaphragm & plunger inside the switch versus a vacuum switch pulls the diaphragm away from the plunger inside the switch. Another way to think of vacuum switches is a negative pressure switch.   Here’s an illustration to help!
