Abstract: A hydraulic pressure switch apparatus includes a porous disc directly installed at a media entry port for dampening and filtration purposes. The porous disc includes a number of pores that are connected together and to the surface of the porous disc for allowing media to flow into a base fitting. The media exerts pressure on a piston associated with the base fitting, which in turn is capable of being absorbed by a compression spring. The compression spring transfers a required motion to a plunger associated with a micro switch in order to provide on/off switching capabilities. Electrical indications can then be transferred to a vehicle control unit utilizing a termination connector, based on particular user requirements. The porous disc can be utilized to dampen the pressure spikes and surges, which significantly prolong the life of the pressure switch apparatus in harsh applications.
