The one that looks like an oil pressure switch, mounted on the side or the receiver/dryer, is the low pressure switch. This one cuts off the compressor if the freon pressure gets too low due to a leak.
The one mounted on the stem on the earlier cars is a freon temp switch, to turn on the aux electric fan when the freon gets hot.
On the S4 and later cars, the freon temp switch is replaced by a freon pressure switch to tell the computer when the A/C compressor is working, so the computer can control the two electric cooling fans.
