The APEM Panel Switches 1213A7/1 are precision-engineered autoswitches designed for demanding industrial environments. These switches deliver reliable performance with silver contacts, a 10,000-cycle electrical life, and a wide operating temperature range from -20 °C to +55 °C. The product meets stringent safety standards including double-break NF (EN 61058-1), UL, and CSA certifications, ensuring safe operation in critical applications. With a 1.5 mm minimum panel thickness and 4 mm maximum, these switches are ideal for integration into control panels where durability and compliance are essential.
The APEM Panel Switches 1213A7/1 feature silver contacts with a 10,000-cycle electrical life. Maximum current ratings include 4 A 250 VAC, 8 A 125 VAC, 4 A 24 VDC, and 8 A 12 VDC for resistive loads. Initial contact resistance is 10 mΩ, ensuring low resistance and minimal power loss during operation.
Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures from -20 °C to +55 °C, these switches maintain reliable performance in harsh industrial environments. The insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz ensure robust electrical safety under demanding conditions.
Compliant with double-break NF (EN 61058-1), UL, and CSA standards, the Panel Switches 1213A7/1 provide critical safety assurance. This certification guarantees safe operation with minimal risk of electrical faults, making them suitable for high-reliability applications.
Available in a 1.5 mm minimum panel thickness (up to 4 mm maximum), these switches feature a plunger color range including white, blue, black, red, and transparent options. The total travel for NO contacts is 4.5 mm +/- 0.3 mm, while NC contacts travel 3.5 mm +/- 0.3 mm, ensuring precise mechanical operation.
