Oil Pressure Switches
The switches on this page are drawn from the pressure families — the 31-entry pressure sensor root family and the dedicated 8-entry oil pressure family — which include the switch-type devices confirmed as switches by their own catalogue entries. One neighbouring entry deserves a warning: the unit referenced OE211777 sits in the same oil pressure family and carries the DAF reference numbers 1673078, 1737643 and 1470270256, but its entry data gives no contact, threshold or output form, so it does not by itself establish the unit as a switch — do not order it as one until its type is confirmed against the old part.
Identifying the right switch takes the OE number plus, where the old unit prints them, its contact logic and switching point — include them as printed rather than guessing them from the engine. If the warning lamp's behaviour struck you as wrong after a previous replacement, record it in the inquiry. For the side-by-side view, read the blog article oil pressure sensor vs oil pressure switch, then order from this page or the oil pressure sensor page according to the OE number of the device you removed.
Order by OE number, not by guesswork
A switch order carries the OE number and, where the old unit prints them, its contact logic and switching point. Send those with the OE number — OE211777, 20428459 and 20382500 are references catalogued around this family — and the match is confirmed against the entry itself, whose data, not its title or its neighbours, decides what the device is. If the warning lamp's behaviour struck you as wrong for the pressure you measured, record both in the inquiry. The vehicle and engine complete the inquiry; the reply quotes the confirmed entry, never a look-alike that merely threads in.
Fitment confirmation checklist
For a switch order, send the OE number; if the old unit prints its contact logic — normally open or normally closed — or a switching threshold, include those details as printed, rather than guessing them from the engine. If the warning lamp behaved unexpectedly after a previous replacement, record that in the inquiry as well, with the OE number. Where a catalogue entry lists applicable models, that listing is what the confirmation is based on — if your exact model is not shown, the reply will say so plainly rather than stretch the fitment.
Packaging, stock and dispatch
Switches and sensors share shelf space and look alike, so on this page the packaging choice doubles as a labelling decision: whichever box is chosen — OEMEMBER branded, UAP branded, blue neutral or white neutral — the two device types should stay visibly separate in stock, because the boxes cannot tell the two types apart at fitting time. Dispatch follows the catalogue's figures: over 100 catalogued items within 3 days, over 2,700 within 15 days. Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment, and certificates are available upon request with the inquiry. Keep the confirmed OE list from your first order with your records and quote it back on any repeat order.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace a switch with a sensor for a 'better' reading?
The two are different catalogue items, and they are not listed as substitutes for each other. Send the OE number of the device you removed — the entry it lands on is the type the confirmation is made for, and where an entry does not state its type, that is confirmed against the old part at inquiry.
How do I know if my engine uses a switch, a sensor, or both?
Send the OE number of the device you removed: the entry behind that number states the device type where the entry records it. If two devices are fitted on the same gallery, send both numbers and state which port each device came from, so each is confirmed against its own entry.
Does switch threshold matter?
Where an entry records a switching point, it belongs to that entry: the deep-checked root-family entry 20428459 records a switch point from 0 to 15 bar. Send the OE number and the reply confirms the entry for your application.
Replacing an oil pressure switch? Send the OE number from the old unit.
Send the OE number, vehicle model and engine — fitment is confirmed against the catalogue entry before any quotation. Samples and mixed-OE orders are welcome.
