Overview

The MSD 8956 is an RPM activated window switch designed to control various circuits based on engine speed. It features two RPM adjustments: one to activate a circuit and another to deactivate it. This switch can be used with stock inductive ignitions or MSD ignitions and can handle up to 1.5 amps. Its 'smart driver' circuit protects against damage from shorts or excessive current by monitoring temperature and cycling the switch on and off as needed. RPM modules must be purchased separately.
