ERECTA SWITCH® by Compac Engineering

OEM Level Switches

A modular system built for production: snap-and-screw components that build unlimited configurations from one parts inventory, with tool-free mounts for assembly-line install.

The problem

OEM level sensing is an inventory and labour problem as much as a sensing one. A custom-fabricated switch per machine variant means a part number per variant, a lead time per variant and a spare per variant. A modular system trades that for one inventory of components that assemble into whatever the machine needs.

Application examples

Injection Molding Chiller — Quick-Install Level Sensing

A plastics machinery OEM needs level sensing in their mold temperature controller reservoir but wants tool-free installation on the production line. The 10-108 pop-in mount snaps into a hole-saw cut — no threading, no flange nut, no tools. The wiring receptacle on top accepts a mating plug for quick connect/disconnect during machine assembly. Ideal for high-volume OEM production where assembly labor cost matters.

Polyethylene Tank — No-Thread Installation

A tank fabricator building custom polyethylene sumps needs level sensing without drilling and tapping threads. The 10-107 flange mount uses a hole-saw cut and flange nut — no threads required. This is common on rotomolded tanks where wall thickness varies and tapped threads may not hold. The sealed flange nut provides a watertight connection from outside the tank with no internal access required.

Commercial Warewash — Chemical Supply Tank

A commercial dishwasher OEM needs to detect when the rinse aid supply tank is low so the machine displays a refill alert. The tank is a small polypropylene reservoir mounted inside the machine cabinet with only side access. A 10-787-PP with extended lead wire runs the signal back to the control board mounted elsewhere in the cabinet. No relay housing needed — the control board handles the logic. The extended lead eliminates a splice inside the machine.

Material selection

Every ERECTA SWITCH configuration is available in three materials. For this application the usual specification is Polypropylene (PP).
