Power Steering Switch Standard Motor 100W Copper

Description

Product Overview

The Standard Motor Products Power Steering Pressure Switch (model PSS26) is engineered for high‑reliability automotive applications. Measuring just 2 × 1.44 × 3.38 inches and weighing only 1.76 oz, this panel‑mount actuator combines a robust copper contact set with a 100 W rating, delivering consistent performance under fluctuating pressure conditions. Constructed from painted, corrosion‑resistant materials, the switch meets the rigorous demands of fuel injection pressure monitoring while maintaining a low profile for space‑constrained engine bays. Its IP00 rating indicates suitability for dry, indoor installations, and the X‑10 connectivity protocol ensures seamless integration with legacy control systems.

Usage

Designed for modern and classic vehicles alike, the pressure switch excels in fuel‑injection systems, power‑steering circuits, and any application requiring accurate pressure feedback. Installers appreciate the straightforward panel‑mount style: simply align the mounting holes, secure with the supplied hardware, and connect the single‑way circuit to the vehicle’s control module. The switch operates efficiently in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to 85 °C, making it suitable for both street‑driven cars and high‑performance racing machines. Whether you are a professional mechanic, a DIY enthusiast, or a fleet maintenance manager, this component offers the reliability needed for daily operation and occasional high‑load scenarios.
