OMEGA’s PSW495 series 
switches are designed to satisfy 
most industrial switch requirements. 
The actuators have been proved 
themselves in more than 20 years 
of service worldwide. The selection 
of seal materials and single or dual 
SPDT hermetically sealed switches 
meets most switching applications.

Comes complete with operator’s manual. 
Notes: (1) Switches may generally be set between 15 and 100% of nominal range; exception
is stainless steel, whose limits are 20 to 100%. (2) Deadbands are for Buna-N in standard 
units as referenced in the nominal range column. See specifications for approximate 
deadbands of optional seals.
Ordering Example: PSW495T-100-JJ, PTFE diaphragm seal, range of 100 psi and dual 
hermetically sealed 11 A switches, $350 + 20 + 205 = $575.
