In over sixty years of experience, SUCO has been confronted daily with the challenges of designers who require maximum reliability without complicating the system architecture. Often the need is to combine the legendary robustness and operational advantages of mechanical pressure switches — including functional autonomy, since they do not require
continuous external power supply like electronic instruments — with the addition of advanced features such as integrated diagnostics.
These include:
- Self-diagnosis, which facilitates compliance with EU Regulation 2015/68 – requirements for vehicle braking in relation to the type-approval of agricultural and forestry vehicles
- Dependent switching function between the temperature of the fluid (so-called cold start)
- Overcurrent or overvoltage protection
The large selection of electrical connector variants for quick mounting and secure connection are characterized by protection classes up to IP67 and IP6K9K.
SUCO, thanks to its know-how and vocation for innovation, has therefore decided to apply passive electronics to its pressure switches with integrated connector, without worsening the resistance to shocks and vibrations and without reducing the protection against the ingress of dust and water or compactness.
The PLUS mechanical pressure switches are based on the modular range of SUCO pressure switches with integrated connector which, it should be remembered, differ from those of many other competitors for the characteristics of mechanical resistance and the refinement of the design of the connector itself
