The Johnson Controls P70AB-2 is a single-pole, single-throw (SPST) low pressure control engineered for reliable pressure-sensing and switching in commercial and industrial HVAC and refrigeration systems. With a Close High/Open Low switching action, this control energizes the circuit as pressure rises and de-energizes as it falls, making it ideal for low-side pressure management and compressor protection applications.
