The Wacker Neuson 5000408455 is a genuine OEM Oil Switch Complete designed for BPS1550Gw-c and BPS2050Gw-c reversible vibratory plate compactors, as well as MP12, MP15, MP20, and MP70 series machines. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Wacker Neuson, this switch is manufactured to the exact specification of the original component it replaces. Fitment covers both CE and CN variants of the BPS1550Gw-c and BPS2050Gw-c, along with multiple build configurations of the MP12 and MP15 series. Keeping this critical engine-protection component in proper working order helps maintain consistent, safe machine operation across demanding compaction applications.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Sensing Accuracy — Built to Wacker Neuson's original electrical specification, ensuring the switch activates at the correct oil pressure threshold — not an approximation.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting thread, connector type, and switch logic, so installation follows the same procedure as the factory component.
- Broad Compactor Compatibility — Fits BPS1550Gw-c and BPS2050Gw-c (CE and CN variants), plus MP12, MP15, MP20, and MP70 series vibratory plate compactors.
- Engine Protection Where It Counts — A functioning oil switch cuts engine power before low-oil conditions cause internal engine damage; a failed switch leaves your engine running unprotected.
- Safety-Critical Electrical Component — As part of the engine shutdown circuit, correct switch operation is essential to preventing catastrophic engine failure on the job.
The oil switch — also called an oil pressure switch — monitors engine oil pressure and signals the engine's protection circuit when pressure drops below a safe operating level. When oil pressure falls too low, the switch triggers an automatic engine shutdown, preventing metal-on-metal contact and internal engine damage. A worn, shorted, or failed oil switch may either allow the engine to run unprotected during a low-oil event, or cause nuisance shutdowns when pressure is actually adequate — both scenarios disrupt compaction work and risk costly engine repairs.
