Barksdale 96201-BB3-T5 Compact Pressure Switch 7000 Psi

Product Description

The BARKSDALE 96201-BB3-T5 is a compact pressure switch designed for industrial and commercial fluid control systems where reliable pressure monitoring is required. It features a single-pole double-throw (SPDT) contact form, a maximum pressure setting of 7000 psi, and a 2% repeatability rating, making it suitable for demanding hydraulic and pneumatic applications. The wetted components are brass with a BUNA-N O-ring, providing compatibility with a wide range of fluids. The switch connects to electrical conduit via a 1/2 inch NPT female conduit connector with free leads, simplifying field wiring. Licensed electricians, instrumentation technicians, and hydraulic system technicians are the typical installers.

This pressure switch is used in hydraulic power units, industrial machinery, and high-pressure fluid systems where a durable, compact switching element is needed. Its 1/4 inch NPT male process connection suits standard pipe fittings common in industrial plumbing and fluid power circuits. The operating temperature range of -40 degrees F to 165 degrees F supports installations in both cold storage environments and heated mechanical spaces. The deadband range of 100 psi to 750 psi allows adjustment to match the hysteresis requirements of the controlled system.

Key Features

• SPDT contact form provides both normally open and normally closed switching capability
• Maximum pressure setting of 7000 psi suits high-pressure hydraulic circuits
• Brass wetted material with BUNA-N O-ring for fluid compatibility
• 2% repeatability rating for consistent switching performance
• 1/2 inch NPT female conduit connector with free leads for straightforward field wiring
• Compact body at 1.5 inches wide by 1.5 inches long by 3.75 inches tall minimizes installation space

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement compact pressure switch for industrial hydraulic and pneumatic systems using standard 1/4 inch NPT male process connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified instrumentation technician or licensed electrician familiar with high-pressure fluid systems and industrial control wiring. De-energize all electrical circuits and relieve system pressure fully before removing or installing the switch. The free leads must be connected per the system wiring diagram and local electrical code requirements; consult NEC guidelines for conduit fill and termination practices. Do not exceed the rated maximum pressure setting of 7000 psi on the process port.
