MBC 5080/MBC 5180 Differential Pressure Switch

Brand: Danfoss

MBC differential pressure switches are used in industry and marine applications where space and reliability are the most important features.

MBCs are compact pressure switches, designed according to our new block design to survive in the harsh conditions known from machine rooms onboard ships.

MBCs have high vibration resistance and feature all commonly marine approvals.
Features
