Electronic Pressure Switches - How They Work

The video tutorial explains pressure switches, their types, and applications. It covers mechanical and electronic designs, highlighting their components and functions. Pressure switches are used to control devices based on pressure levels, ensuring safety and efficiency in systems like refrigeration, air conditioning, and hydraulics. Mechanical switches use pistons and springs, while electronic ones use strain gauges and MOSFETs for precise control without moving parts.
