The APEM Panel Switches 18235WCD-3 is a single pole autoswitch engineered for robust electrical switching in demanding industrial environments. This panel switch provides tactile feedback and snap-in panel mounting, ensuring precise control with gold-plated brass contacts that maintain low resistance and high reliability. Its compact design, with a total travel of 0.5 mm and 1.25 Nm torque tolerance, makes it suitable for applications requiring precise switching without compromising durability.
The 18235WCD-3 operates with a maximum current rating of 100 mA - 30 VDC for resistive loads, ensuring compatibility with low-power systems. Its initial contact resistance remains below 50 mΩ max, minimizing voltage drop during switching. The switch supports 1,000 Vrms dielectric strength at 50 Hz, providing robust insulation against electrical faults.
Engineered to withstand extreme temperatures from -30 °C to +65 °C, the 18235WCD-3 ensures consistent performance in harsh industrial environments. Its insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min guarantees long-term stability and safety even under demanding operational conditions.
The snap-in panel mounting design allows for quick and secure installation without tools. Tactile feedback ensures immediate user confirmation during operation, while the 0.5 mm total travel and 1.25 Nm torque tolerance provide precise switching without mechanical stress.
With an electrical life of 60,000 cycles at full load, the 18235WCD-3 delivers extended service life in high-frequency switching applications. The gold-plated brass contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance over time, ensuring consistent performance.
