ABSTRACT:
A pressure switch according to the invention combines a pressure chamber with diaphragm, plunger, spring-loaded switch mechanism and electrical contacts in a single compact assembly. According to one aspect of the invention, the terminal board of the pump motor is incorporated into the control switch housing, eliminating the need for wiring from the switch to the terminal board and enabling the switch to be mounted inside the wiring compartment of the motor. According to another aspect of the invention, a pair of opposing blades are used in the switch mechanism to eliminate side forces and decrease friction, improving accuracy and life of the switch. A simple set screw may be used with one of the switch blades, in cooperation with a stop associated with the other blade, to adjust the spring force and thereby control the pressure control differential.
