DANFOSS Switch BCP3

This is a pressure switch, model BCP3. It has a wide range of features and specifications designed for reliable performance. Pressure - related Parameters The adjustment range of the pressure switch is quite flexible. The adjustment range [bar] Pe is from 0 to 6 bar (equivalent to 0 - 87.02 psig), which allows it to be used in various applications with different pressure requirements. The hysteresis is between 0.7 - 1.4 bar (10.2 - 20.3 psi), ensuring stable operation and preventing rapid cycling in pressure - sensitive systems. The maximum test pressure [bar] Pe is 17.6 bar (255 psig), and the highest working pressure is 16 bar (230 psig). These values indicate the robustness and safety margins of the product, ensuring it can withstand significant pressure during operation and testing. The pressure connection type is G, with a pressure connection size of 1/2 and the connection standard follows ISO 228 - 1. The pressure sensing element is a bellows, and the pressure connection has external threads. Mechanical and Environmental Parameters The case protection level is IP65, which provides good protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. The fluid group is 1, and the switch has a burst pressure of 24 bar, which is an important safety parameter indicating its ability to withstand extreme pressure conditions. The environmental temperature range is -20 °C (-4 °F) to 70 °C (158 °F), allowing it to operate in a relatively wide range of temperatures, suitable for different industrial and commercial applications. Electrical Parameters The electrical specifications are in accordance with EN 60947 - 4/-5. The electrical connection is a DIN plug with a size of Pg 11 and an internal thread connection form, following the standard EN 175301 - 803. The contact function is SPDT with gold - plated contacts, which ensures reliable electrical switching. The contact capacity is AC15 = 1 A, 250 V; AC1 = 6 A, 250 V; DC13 = 10 W, 250 V, and the contact load type is A. This pressure switch is a highly functional and reliable product, suitable for a variety of industrial applications that require accurate pressure monitoring and control.
