The APEM Industrial Controls Switches A1ICA0X506K403 is a latching autoswitch designed for robust industrial applications. This panel-sealed switch (IP65) offers reliable operation across -20°C to +55°C temperatures, with a maximum contact resistance of 10mΩ at 1Amp 4VDC. Its high insulation resistance (50MΩ min) and dielectric strength (750V open contacts) ensure safe performance in demanding environments.
Product Overview
The APEM Industrial Controls Switches A1ICA0X506K403 is a high-reliability latching autoswitch engineered for industrial automation systems. With a panel seal rating of IP65 and rear port IP40, this switch provides exceptional protection against dust and water ingress while maintaining robust electrical performance. The switch operates within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +55°C, making it suitable for harsh industrial conditions. Its low initial contact resistance (10mΩ max at 1Amp 4VDC) ensures minimal voltage drop during operation, while the high insulation resistance (50MΩ min) and dielectric strength (750V between open contacts) guarantee safe electrical isolation. The switch also features a long electrical life of 50,000 cycles, supporting continuous use in critical control applications.
Electrical Specifications
The APEM Industrial Controls Switches A1ICA0X506K403 operates within a voltage range of 10mA 5VAC min to 6Amp 250VAC and 6Amp 12VDC. It features a latching electrical function, ensuring the switch remains in its last state after activation without requiring continuous power. The switch maintains a maximum initial contact resistance of 10mΩ at 1Amp 4VDC, minimizing voltage drop during operation.
Environmental Performance
Engineered for industrial environments, this switch withstands temperatures from -20°C to +55°C. Its panel sealing provides an IP65 rating, protecting against dust and water, while the rear port has an IP40 rating for basic dust protection. The switch also demonstrates high solder heat resistance of 350°C for 5 seconds, enabling reliable use in high-temperature soldering processes.
Reliability and Longevity
With an electrical life of 50,000 cycles minimum, the APEM Industrial Controls Switches A1ICA0X506K403 ensures long-term reliability in demanding applications. The switch's high insulation resistance (50MΩ min) and dielectric strength (750V between open contacts) provide robust electrical isolation, reducing the risk of short circuits and equipment failure.
