My pressure switch has been playing up and needs a bit of a wiggle at the terminal connections to make it work, sometimes.

So I dismantled it and found this:



And I went to Maplins website and found this being about the closest match, though I may have to break one of the prongs off:

Will it work?  Or can anyone recommend another micro switch?

[Frankybadboy]

yep it will work just change the ends to spade ends

[Alex Gardiner]

Yes it should work - as far as I know others have sourced them from Maplin in the past.

I thought you Japs knew everything about electronics 

[Tom White]

Cheers guys; I've ordered two.

[Tom White]

It arrived today and it took about ten minutes to replace and worked perfectly; no need to break a spade off, it fits lovely as it is.

Saved forking out for a new pump.

Yes, but they're selling the whole pressure switch:

I only needed to change the micro switch that's contained in the pressure switch.

It's very simple to do.

You got to be really right to order a £2.00 item from china to save a few quid 

[gto]

spares for simple items are always good to have.

I can better that - when my hoselock connectors on my reels start leaking I put on a brand new O ring. Keeps'em going for a few more months.

£1 for 12.
