The V-5500 Series Solid State Vacuum Switch is a direct interface with solid state circuits. The switch is adjustable from 1 to 28" Hg. with a maximum signal pressure of 29.9" Hg.

The solid state switch combines precision mechanical switch operating convenience with solid state reliability; it uses the Hall Sensor. An integrated circuit, actuated by a magnet located in the operating plunger, produces a digital output. The digital logic-level output eliminates the need for conditioning circuitry to obtain square wave output. There are no contacts. Supply voltage is 4.5 - 24 VDC. A terminal housing can be provided for use with AMP 102241-1 terminals.

Four mounting styles are available: Flush Mount, Manifold Mount, Panel Mount, and Pipe Thread Mount. The Flush Mount has .125" diameter mounting holes for mounting on a flat surface. The Manifold Mount is designed to mount directly on pneumatic circuit boards or manifold subplates; a Buna-N o-ring is supplied. The Panel Mount has a unique thread that goes from 1/8-27 tapered pipe thread to 1/8-27 straight pipe thread; a mounting nut is supplied. The Pipe Thread Mount has 1/8-27 tapered pipe threads.
