SICK PAC50 Series Pressure Switch, 20mA Analogue Output, 5 Bar Maximum Operating Pressure - PAC50-BGA / 1062958


This pressure switch provides electronic pressure detection and switching for pneumatic systems, designed for industrial automation environments. It monitors gauge pressure in compressed Air lines and delivers an analogue 20 mA output alongside selectable transistor switching, enabling integration into control cabinets and DIN-rail installations.

Features and Benefits:


• 20 mA analogue output delivers proportional pressure signalling for controllers
• PNP/NPN selectable switching allows flexible Interface with PLCs
• IP67 rated enclosure protects against dust and temporary immersion
• 17–30V DC supply ensures compatibility with common industrial power rails
• 5 bar maximum pressure rating supports typical compressed Air applications

Applications


• Suitable for monitoring compressed Air supply pressure in control panels
• Ideal for integration on DIN-rail assemblies in automation racks
• Used with PLC I/O for process control and alarm signalling
• Can be used for pneumatic valve actuation feedback loops

What electrical connection options are available for switching?


The device provides configurable transistor outputs allowing push–pull operation and selection between PNP or NPN logic to match sinking or sourcing inputs.

How does the unit connect to the pneumatic system?


The sensor uses a female G1/4 threaded port for straightforward attachment to standard 1/4 in pneumatic fittings.

What are the operating temperature limits to consider?


The unit is specified to operate between 0 °C and 60 °C, so it should be positioned away from heat sources or freezing environments.

What current draw and signalling limitations apply?


The switch supports a maximum switching current of 40 mA and provides a 20 mA analogue output for continuous monitoring.

Which directives and standards relate to its electromagnetic performance?


The product complies with EMC requirements and relevant EN 61326-2-3 electromagnetic standards and carries CE and RoHS markings.
