SQUARE D
SQUARE D Float Switch 2 Pole 10 A 575 V 7.1 in
This open liquid level switch activates at rising levels, handles 10 A at 575 V, and fits 7.1 in overall length
- TypeLight Switch
- Opens on liquid rise for automatic level control
- 10 A DPST contacts handle up to 575 VAC circuits
- Stainless-steel float resists corrosion in harsh fluids
- Operates from -22 °F to 220 °F across wide environments
- Compact 7.1 in body fits open-tank mounting easily
Liquid-level control for tanks
The Square D float switch opens its contacts when liquid rises, making it suitable for pump-down or high-level alarm circuits in open tanks. It mounts directly to the tank and operates reliably between –22 °F and 220 °F.
10 A / 575 V rating with motor-load headroom
The DPST-2NO contacts carry 10 A resistive and are rated 460 VA at 460 VAC, while motor ratings reach 2 hp at 120 V, 3 hp at 240 V single-phase and 5 hp at 240 V three-phase. Float travel of 1 1/4 in sets the switching differential.
Switch function fixed as open-on-rise
Because the switch only opens on liquid rise, it cannot be used for fill-control or low-level alarm duties without additional logic. Buyers needing close-on-rise or adjustable differential must select a different device.

Questions about this item
Will the 7.1 in overall length and 5.56 in height fit inside my existing control panel?
The switch body measures 7.1 in overall length, 5.56 in height and 3.43 in width; check those dimensions against your panel cut-out before mounting.
How can I verify the float switch is opening on rise as intended?
Raise the liquid level until the float travels 1 1/4 in; the DPST-2NO contacts should open and the pump or alarm circuit should stop at that point.
Does the box include mounting hardware for an open tank or must I source brackets separately?
The switch is designed for open tank mounting with a thermoplastic body; mounting brackets and seal fittings are not included and must be purchased separately.
