Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches 1202C2 are robust, high-reliability autoswitches designed for industrial applications. Featuring silver-plated copper contacts, these switches offer 10,000 cycle electrical life, double-break safety compliance (NF EN 61058-1, UL, CSA), and precise terminal connections with 1.50 Nm torque tolerance. Ideal for demanding environments from -20°C to +55°C.
The APEM Panel Switches 1202C2 are precision-engineered autoswitches designed for reliable operation in industrial control systems. With silver-plated copper contacts and a 5 mm panel thickness, these switches deliver high electrical performance and safety compliance. The double-break contact design ensures robust interruption of current, meeting stringent international standards including NF EN 61058-1, UL, and CSA. Their 10,000 cycle electrical life and wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +55°C) make them suitable for critical applications where durability and safety are paramount.
The Panel Switches 1202C2 deliver precise electrical performance with a maximum current rating of 8 A for 12 V DC and 4 A for 24 V DC. They support resistive loads and maintain reliable operation across a wide voltage range, including 250 VAC and 125 VAC. The initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ ensures minimal voltage drop during operation, critical for maintaining system efficiency.
Compliant with NF EN 61058-1, UL, and CSA standards, these switches provide double-break contact interruption for enhanced safety. This design prevents arcing and ensures reliable disconnection even under fault conditions, making them suitable for high-risk industrial environments.
Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures from -20°C to +55°C, the Panel Switches 1202C2 maintain consistent performance in harsh conditions. This thermal resilience ensures reliable operation in both cold and hot industrial settings without degradation of electrical characteristics.
Screw-clamp terminals with silver contacts ensure secure connections and low resistance. The maximum torque of 1.50 Nm (1.10 ft-lb) for nut tightening prevents over-tightening while maintaining reliable electrical contact. The 5 mm panel thickness allows for integration into standard industrial panels without compromising structural integrity.
