🧭 Active mini float switch made of plastic

Logic output for electronics and automation solutions

The active mini plastic float switch is the ideal solution for reliable level detection in electronic controls and industrial applications. Unlike conventional normally closed contacts, this switch generates a clean voltage signal (low/high) that can be directly evaluated by high-impedance logic inputs such as TTL or CMOS circuits.

💡 Important: This float switch is not suitable for Schabus water detectors , but for controls with logic inputs or individual evaluation electronics .

✅ Your benefits at a glance

  • Active switching output with voltage jump (0 V ↔ operating voltage)

  • Suitable for TTL or CMOS inputs

  • Maintenance- and wear-free thanks to reed technology

  • proven plastic housing

  • Extremely durable at low switching currents (up to 1 trillion switching cycles)

  • Switching point at approx. 4 cm level

  • Switching principle changeover – no turning required

  • Easy installation – matching mounting bracket (Art. No. 300787) available

⚠️ Area of ​​application & function

The float switch is an active signal generator that generates a voltage change as soon as the liquid level reaches the defined switching point. The SHT 8060 uses the "changeover contact" switching principle, meaning that inverting the float is not necessary.

➡️ Ideal for :

  • Industrial plants with their own logic control

  • PLC systems with high-impedance inputs

  • Microcontroller boards (e.g. Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc.)

  • Visualization or alarm systems with logic input

🧠 What does “active” mean?

Active float switches generate their own electrical signal change when triggered—unlike passive reed switches, which only close the circuit. This makes them ideal for applications where clear voltage information is required.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

🔌What does “active float switch” mean?

An active float switch generates an electrical voltage signal when it comes into contact with water—typically a change from 0 V to the operating voltage. This makes it particularly suitable for controllers with high-impedance logic inputs such as TTL or CMOS circuits.

⚠️Can the float switch be connected to Schabus water detectors such as the SHT 5000?

No – this float switch isnot compatible with Schabus water detectorsIt is intended for standalone controllers with logic inputs, not for the potential inputs of the water detectors.

🔄How does the switching logic of the float switch work?

By default, the contact closes at a liquid level of approximately 4 cm (low → high). This float switch uses the "changeover" switching principle – reversing the float body is not necessary.

⚡How much current can the switch switch?

The switch is forvery low switching currentsdesigned – ideal for an LED with 11 mA at 12 V, for example. The lower the current, the longer the service life (up to 1 trillion operations at 5 V / 1 mA).

🧠What do I need to consider when connecting?

The float switch must be connected to ahigh-impedance inputThe operating voltage (e.g., 5 V or 12 V) must be shared with the circuit. Do not switch a direct load!

💧How is the switching point defined?

The contact closes (or opens when the float is turned) at a water level of approximately4 cm.

🛠️How is the float switch installed?

For vertical mounting, we recommend the optionalMounting bracket (item no. 300787)Alternatively, the float can be attached to a pipe or bracket using a suitable bushing.

🌧️Is the cable waterproof?

The usedLIYY cableis according to the manufactureronly temporarily waterproofIt is flame-retardant, self-extinguishing, and resistant to many oils and coolants—but should be installed in a dry environment or in a protective conduit.

🧪Is the float switch suitable for permanent moisture or underwater operation?

Yes –Float switches are designed for humid environments and use in liquidsThe V2A stainless steel model is corrosion-resistant, reliable, and maintenance-free. Unlike sensors with open electrodes, there's no risk of electrolysis.

.

🔄Does the float switch also detect distilled water?

Yes – since it is amechanically operated switching contactThe conductivity of the liquid is not important. The float works reliably in all media with aDensity of at least 0.7 g/cm³– also with demineralized water or oily liquids.
