Description
Product Overview
The UAC SW11172C pressure transducer is an electrically operated, single‑way push‑button switch engineered for automotive climate control and related vehicle systems. Constructed from a machined black exterior, the unit houses a copper or nickel contact material that ensures low resistance and high reliability under continuous operation. Rated for 5 Amps at 12 Volts, the switch features a normally open configuration with a female connector and screw terminals for secure wiring. Its compact dimensions of 4 × 3 × 3 inches and lightweight design (1.62 oz) make it an ideal direct replacement for the original equipment part in Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2004, while also being compatible with a broad range of HVAC and vehicle control applications.
Usage
Designed for integration into automotive HVAC systems, the transducer monitors refrigerant pressure and activates cooling cycles to maintain optimal cabin temperature. It is equally suitable for aftermarket installations in custom vehicle projects, fleet maintenance, and repair shops that require a dependable pressure‑sensing component. The touch‑control method allows for quick manual activation, while the IP00 rating indicates suitability for interior mounting where exposure to moisture is minimal. Technicians and DIY enthusiasts alike will appreciate the straightforward screw‑terminal connection, which reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of wiring errors.

FAQ
Is this transducer compatible with other vehicle models?
While the SW11172C is specified for the 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee, its electrical specifications (5 A, 12 V, normally open) make it compatible with many other vehicles that use a similar pressure‑switch design, provided the mounting dimensions match.
Can the unit be used in outdoor environments?
The transducer has an IP00 rating, indicating it is intended for interior use where exposure to water or dust is limited. For outdoor applications, additional protective enclosures are recommended.
What is the warranty period for this product?
UAC offers a one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, ensuring peace of mind for both professional installers and end users.
How does the copper contact improve performance?
Copper provides excellent electrical conductivity and resistance to corrosion, which translates to more consistent signal transmission and a longer operational lifespan compared to lower‑grade contact materials.
Is any special tooling required for installation?
No special tools are needed beyond standard screwdrivers for the terminal connections. The female connector is designed for plug‑and‑play integration with existing wiring harnesses.
