P25 ZP-2508 water level sensor 0~110V (40cm cables)

Description

The ZP2508 is a compact vertical-mount float switch designed for liquid level detection and control in small tanks, aquariums, water dispensers, and household appliances. It operates on a passive magnetic reed principle: a magnetic float moves vertically along the stem as liquid level changes, actuating a sealed reed switch inside the tube to open or close a circuit . The switch requires no external power for the sensing element—it is a dry contact device that simply makes or breaks a connection when the float reaches its actuation point.

The PP (polypropylene) construction provides good resistance to weak acids and alkalis, making it suitable for water-based applications and light chemical environments . With a maximum contact rating of 10W and a switching current of 0.5A, this switch is intended for low-power control circuits—it should drive a relay or PLC input rather than a pump or motor directly . The float orientation can be inverted to convert between Normally Closed (NC) and Normally Open (NO) operation . The 40cm cable length provides flexibility for routing to control panels.

Critical limitations: This is a passive switch, not a continuous level transmitter. The contact rating is limited to 10W / 0.5A—do not connect pumps, solenoids, or motors directly without a relay . The PP body is not suitable for oils, strong solvents, or concentrated acids, and the standard temperature rating is -10°C to +85°C per most supplier listings, though one Chinese manufacturer lists a narrower -10°C to +60°C for plastic versions .
