Its toggle action on 2-position models provides smooth mechanical operation, while the front panel sealing options and locking lever configurations enhance durability and user safety.

Electrical Performance

The APEM Panel Switches 12164AX408 delivers precise electrical performance with a dielectric strength of 1.000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals and 2.000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between poles and terminals. It maintains a low initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. and provides high insulation resistance of 1.000 MΩ min. at 500VDC. These specifications ensure reliable switching performance in demanding electrical environments.

Environmental Resilience

Engineered for extreme conditions, the Panel Switches 12164AX408 operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Its epoxy sealed terminals and robust construction protect against environmental stressors, ensuring consistent performance in harsh industrial settings. The switch also features CECC approval and compliance with MIL standards, guaranteeing reliability in critical applications.

Mechanical Operation

The switch provides smooth mechanical operation through its toggle action on 2-position models. This design minimizes contact bounce (2 ms max.) and ensures precise switching without mechanical interference. The robust construction, including a bright chrome finish on the actuator and standard levers, enhances durability and user safety during operation.

Sealing and Protection

Front panel sealing options, including two O-rings, provide enhanced protection against dust and moisture. The epoxy sealing of terminals and bushings ensures long-term reliability in challenging environments. This feature is critical for applications requiring high levels of environmental resistance and extended service life.
