Santech MT0316 A/C Binary Pressure Switch

The Santech MT0316 is a binary A/C pressure switch designed to monitor refrigerant pressure in automotive air conditioning systems. This critical safety component protects the A/C compressor by shutting off power when system pressure falls outside safe operating parameters.

Key Features:

• Binary design monitors both high and low pressure thresholds
• Direct replacement for OEM switches on various vehicle applications
• Prevents compressor damage from low refrigerant conditions
• Protects system components from excessive high-side pressure
• Pre-calibrated pressure settings for reliable performance

The binary pressure switch mounts directly to the A/C system and uses electrical contacts to signal the vehicle's climate control system. When refrigerant pressure drops too low (indicating a leak or low charge) or rises too high (indicating a restriction or overcharge), the switch opens the circuit to disengage the compressor clutch, preventing costly damage to the air conditioning system.
