OIL PRESSURE SWITCH,MGB (P/N 5618-1) - New Surplus

The 5618-1 is an oil pressure switch for helicopter main gearboxes, commonly used in Airbus Helicopters platforms including Super Puma aircraft. This pressure-activated switch monitors lubrication circuit pressure in the MGB and triggers electrical signals to caution/warning annunciation systems when pressure falls below safe operating thresholds. The switch interfaces directly with the main gearbox lubrication system, providing real-time pressure status to flight deck instruments and alerting crews to potential lubrication failures.

Installation must follow the aircraft maintenance manual and verified against your helicopter's Illustrated Parts Catalog for compatibility.
