Product Analysis: Kobold NCS-107 Level Switch
The Kobold NCS-107 is a compact conductive level switch engineered for the detection of conductive liquids in small tanks and laboratory equipment. Part of the innovative NCS line, this sensor is designed to detect a liquid’s presence when it touches the integrated electrode, triggering a switching signal. It is an ideal solution for pharmaceutical production, beverage bottling, and any environment where hygienic standards and space constraints are paramount.
Conductive Sensing Logic and Hygienic Design
The NCS-107 uses a single-probe conductive principle, making it highly responsive to liquids with a minimum conductivity of 10 μS/cm. The «107» model features an M12 thread and a stainless steel electrode, ensuring it meets high-purity requirements. Because the measurement is non-mechanical, it is not affected by changes in pressure or density, providing a stable and repeatable switching point for overflow or dry-run protection.
Key Technical Characteristics
- Part Number: NCS-107.
- Sensing Type: Conductive (Single point).
- Material: Stainless steel 316L (1.4404).
- Process Connection: M12 x 1.
- Max Pressure: 10 bar.
- Temperature: Up to 100°C.

Advanced Performance for Clean Environments
The NCS-107 is built with a focus on chemical resistance and long-term reliability. The electrode is partially insulated to prevent false triggers caused by condensation or droplets. Its electronic module is fully encapsulated, making it resistant to the vibrations and moisture common in industrial washdown areas. Its miniature size allows for installation in complex manifold blocks and compact medical devices where larger sensors would not fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this for purified water? It depends on the conductivity; if the water is deionized below 10 μS/cm, a conductive switch may not trigger. Is the probe food-safe? Yes, the 316L stainless steel construction is standard for food and beverage contact.
