Square D 9012GAW5G17 Pressure Switch 3-150 Psig Spdt-db

Product Description

The SQUARE D 9012GAW5G17 is an electromechanical pressure and level switch rated for 3 to 150 psig, designed for use in hydraulic and pneumatic systems. It features a single-pole double-throw with double-break (SPDT-DB) contact form and screw terminal connections, making it a reliable choice for control circuit applications where precise pressure sensing is required. The switch accepts voltages of 120 VAC, 240 VAC, 125 VDC, and 250 VDC, and carries a 6-amp rating. With NEMA 4, 4X, and 13 enclosure ratings, it is built to withstand washdowns, dust, and corrosive environments. Licensed electricians and industrial control technicians are the primary installers of this switch.

This switch is suited for residential and commercial applications involving hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems where pressure-activated switching is needed. Its adjustable differential pressure range — minimum 6 psi to maximum 30 psi — gives technicians flexibility during commissioning. The 1/4-inch fluid connection port and 1/2-inch conduit connector allow for straightforward integration into existing piping and conduit runs. It is a commonly specified component in pump control panels, compressor systems, and fluid power circuits.

Key Features

• SPDT-DB contact form rated at 6 amps across 120 VAC, 240 VAC, 125 VDC, and 250 VDC
• NEMA 4, 4X, and 13 ratings provide protection against washdowns, dust, and corrosion
• Vibration-resistant construction per IEC 58-2-27 and IEC 68-2-6
• 1/4-inch fluid connection and 1/2-inch conduit connector for standard installation
• Compliant with UL 508, CSA C22.2 No. 14, CE, and RoHS

Compatibility

Designed for use with hydraulic systems and pneumatic systems as an OEM-style electromechanical pressure switch for control circuit applications requiring NEMA 4, 4X, or 13 rated enclosures.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified industrial control technician in accordance with the NEC and any applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit and depressurize the system fully before connecting or disconnecting the switch. Use appropriately rated conduit and fittings at the 1/2-inch conduit entry to maintain the enclosure rating. Verify the fluid connection port is properly sealed and torqued to the fitting manufacturer's specification to prevent leaks.
