The APEM Panel Switches 145 are robust, changeover autoswitches designed for industrial applications. Featuring silver contacts (6 A 12 VDC) and silver-plated copper contacts (3 A 12 VDC), these switches offer high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC), dielectric strength (1,500 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals), and electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load. Ideal for environments operating between -20 °C and +55 °C.
The APEM Panel Switches 145 are precision-engineered changeover autoswitches designed for demanding industrial environments. These switches provide reliable operation with silver contacts rated for 6 A 12 VDC and silver-plated copper contacts for 3 A 12 VDC, ensuring robust performance under varying electrical loads. With an electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load, high insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC), and dielectric strength (1,500 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals), the Panel Switches 145 deliver dependable switching functionality across a wide temperature range from -20 °C to +55 °C. Their compact 2 mm panel thickness and dual terminal features ensure seamless integration into industrial control systems.
The Panel Switches 145 deliver high electrical reliability with a minimum insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms 50 Hz between terminals. These specifications ensure robust protection against electrical faults and maintain stable operation under high-voltage conditions. The switches also feature an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ, minimizing energy loss during switching operations.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the Panel Switches 145 operate effectively across a wide temperature range from -20 °C to +55 °C. This versatility makes them suitable for both cold industrial environments and hot operational settings, ensuring consistent performance without degradation.
With a panel thickness of 2 mm max, the Panel Switches 145 incorporate butt action contacts and double break solder lugs for enhanced safety and reliability. The straight PC and quick-connect terminals simplify installation while maintaining secure electrical connections, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection.
Designed for long-term industrial use, the Panel Switches 145 provide an electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load. This ensures reliable switching performance even in high-frequency applications, while the low initial contact resistance (10 mΩ) minimizes power dissipation and heat generation during operation.
