The APEM Panel Switches 18235CD is a single pole autoswitch designed for precise electrical control. Featuring brass (gold-plated) contacts, 100 mA to 1 A current ratings, and tactile feedback, it delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Ideal for industrial applications requiring robust, low-resistance switching with snap-in panel mounting.
The APEM Panel Switches 18235CD is a single pole autoswitch engineered for precision electrical control in industrial settings. This compact switch utilizes gold-plated brass contacts to ensure low contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and high durability, supporting current ratings up to 1 A with 30 VDC. Its snap-in panel mounting design provides tactile feedback and seamless integration into control panels, while maintaining electrical specifications such as dielectric strength (1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min.) and insulation resistance (1,000 MΩ min.). The switch operates reliably across temperatures from -30 °C to +65 °C, making it suitable for applications requiring robust, low-maintenance switching solutions.
The 18235CD delivers reliable electrical performance with a dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. and insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. It supports current ratings up to 1 A with 30 VDC for resistive loads, ensuring stable operation in industrial environments. The switch maintains low contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and electrical life of 60,000 cycles at full load, critical for long-term reliability.
Designed for snap-in panel mounting, the 18235CD integrates seamlessly into control panels with straight PC terminals. This configuration allows for quick installation without additional hardware, while providing tactile feedback for user confirmation during operation. The switch is compatible with both panel and PC mount models, ensuring flexibility in system integration.
Engineered to withstand extreme conditions, the 18235CD operates within a temperature range of -30 °C to +65 °C. This robust performance ensures consistent functionality in harsh industrial environments, from cold storage facilities to high-heat manufacturing processes. The switch also meets stringent electrical safety standards for reliable operation.
