Seems my switch went bad and now after looking, it seems the switch has been discontinued.

Compressor: Campbell Hausfeld
Switch Model#: CW-2075-32
ON: 95psi
OFF: 125psi
Volts: 1 phase 240

My question is, can someone tell what switch to go with to replace it. Will any switch with the same stats work? I need this compressor back up with in the week. Thanks for your help.

Post up some pictures, if you can. Barring anything strange, though, as long as it is good for the current it will be switching, any switch with the right pressure settings should work.

Use a well pump switch. It will allow you to set minimum and maximum psi.

I've seen it done, and it doesn't work. There is no provision for a relief valve for the head pressure when the compressor stops. Last one I saw with that setup eventually burned up the motor as it was being loaded very heavily trying to start a loaded pump each time.
