VDO Oil Pressure Sensor, 0–80 PSI, 1/4-18 NPTF, with 8 PSI Alert

The VDO oil pressure sensor with a 1/4-18 NPTF connection is used to measure oil pressure. It operates in the range of 0 to 80 PSI and outputs a resistive signal intended for a compatible gauge.

The 10 to 184 ? outlet must match the electrical specifications of the gauge or indicator being used. An identical display range alone is not sufficient to guarantee compatibility. The 8 PSI ± 2.0 PSI alert contact provides a function separate from the measurement, for controlling a compatible warning light.

Compatibility and Mounting

Check the 1/4-18 NPTF thread, the resistance curve, and the connection before mounting. The body must maintain electrical continuity with the circuit ground.
