Don't forget the flyback diode for custom projects.
If you use this with a solenoid or a motor, make sure you use a flyback diode at the solenoid to protect from the coil's reverse voltage spike or you will probably fuse the switches contacts. I forgot the diode while testing, luckily a few taps unstuck it for me, and has worked fine since with the diode in circuit. 5 stars for sure because this is just about the only cheap float switch I could find that handles more than half an amp.

Inexpensive and works fine
Simple connection to my MrCool Heat Pump Indoor Unit in the attic (must remove J7 jumper). The 2-wires connect when the float rises. Tested manually. Simply clipped on to the side of my overflow pan (beneath heat pump).

Simple install as auxiliary float, especially if you alread have a primary wired
Noticed leak and found out existing SS2 failed (luckily we were home). Got it to work after playing with the float, but decided best to replace - did not see the float switch part sold separately but the price was reasonable even though I dedn't need the PVC unit. For better protection, also bought the SS3 and installed in series with an auxiliary pan. SS2 had been in service at least 14 years.

It works best as a final solution
My initial thought was to use this switch as the first line of defense. It won't work, thus it can only supplement the draining holes. Fundamentally US HVAC design is flawed on secondary drain pan. The pan is flat, meaning any meaningful water sensing, draining will require "enough" depth. To make things a bit worse, this float works to shut off the circuit with half an inch movement, meaning the best way to install the switch would require touching the bottom of the pan. The enclosed clip sets the switch too high thus I need to flatten the metal clip and drill holes to install it. Since it is hard to drill stainless steel, I ended using the two clipper points as my drilling point, which set this switch a bit up from the bottom. The good news is, the bottom of the pan is filled with debris from Attic, thus getting away from the bottom might help to reduce false alarm. It all depends on how do you want it to work. So, this switch sets a bit too high thus it works only after secondary drain hose is blocked instead of sensing if there is any water inside the pan.
