An oil pressure switch is a crucial component in your vehicle's engine lubrication system. It functions as a controller that directly activates the oil warning light on the dashboard when the engine oil pressure drops below a predetermined critical level. Alternatively, it sends a signal to the Engine Control Unit (ECU) to alert the driver about low oil pressure, helping to prevent potential engine damage. Like any sensor or switch in the engine, oil pressure sensors can eventually develop issues requiring repair. Failing to recognize the symptoms of a faulty oil pressure sensor can lead to dangerously low oil levels, which can be detrimental to your engine's health. This Intermotor Oil Pressure Switch, part number 50500, is designed with a 1/8" x 27 NPTF thread size and a single-pin connector. It features a spanner size of 22, a black housing color, and operates within a pressure range of 0.38 to 0.68 bar. The technical specification indicates a normally closed (N.C.) circuit. Its weight is approximately 0.04 kg. This switch is compatible with various cross-references, including BOSCH (0 986 344 054, 0 986 345 000, 0 986 345 012), C.I. (XOPS1, XOPS11, XOPS31), and others.
