The Panel Switches 1200 deliver precise electrical performance with a 10 mΩ initial contact resistance and 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC. They support high current ratings: 4 A 250 VAC, 8 A 125 VAC, 4 A 24 VDC, and 8 A 12 VDC for silver contacts, ensuring reliable operation in diverse electrical applications. The switches also feature 2,000 Vrms dielectric strength (50 Hz) between terminals and 3,000 Vrms dielectric strength between terminals and frame, providing robust protection against electrical surges.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the Panel Switches 1200 operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C and are IP67 sealed, protecting against dust and water ingress. This ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments, including wet or dusty settings. The switches also feature a 1.50 Nm (1.10 ft.lb) maximum torque for terminal connections, preventing damage during installation.
The Panel Switches 1200 utilize screw clamp terminals with options for solder lugs or quick connect configurations. Their 5 mm panel thickness (max) and 12.2 mm height ensure compatibility with standard industrial panels. The switches include a 2 mm long travel feature, allowing for precise actuation and integration into custom keyboard systems when needed.
Compliant with international standards, the Panel Switches 1200 meet NF (EN 61058-1), UL, and CSA requirements for safety and performance. The double break design ensures reliable switching without arcing, while the butt action contacts provide a secure connection for long-term reliability in critical applications.
