The APEM Panel Switches 1202A3 is a high-performance autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. This switch combines exceptional electrical safety with precise mechanical reliability, ensuring consistent operation under extreme conditions. With double break NF (EN 61058-1), UL, and CSA certifications, it meets stringent international standards for electrical safety. The switch features a 5 mm panel thickness, 10,000 cycle electrical life, and operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C, making it suitable for both harsh and controlled industrial settings.
The APEM Panel Switches 1202A3 operates with a maximum current/voltage rating of 4 A 250 VAC, 8 A 125 VAC, 4 A 24 VDC, and 8 A 12 VDC for resistive loads. It features an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ and electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load. The switch maintains a dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals and 3,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals and frame.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the Panel Switches 1202A3 operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +55 °C. Its 5 mm panel thickness ensures structural integrity, while the switch's robust construction supports reliable performance in both high and low-temperature environments.
The switch utilizes butt action contacts with a total travel of 4.5 mm for normally open (NO) and 3.5 mm for normally closed (NC) positions. The plunger color is green, and the screw clamp terminals provide secure mounting. Maximum torque of 1.50 Nm (1.10 Ft.lb) is required for nut tightening.
Compliant with NF (EN 61058-1), UL, and CSA standards, the Panel Switches 1202A3 ensures electrical safety through double break design. This configuration minimizes arc flash risks and provides reliable operation in critical industrial applications.
