The APEM Panel Switches 18245AD delivers precise, durable control for industrial applications with its double pole configuration and gold-plated silver contacts. Engineered for reliability, this switch features tactile feedback, a dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min., and an electrical life of 60,000 cycles at full load. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance across a wide temperature range (-30 °C to +65 °C) and compatibility with resistive loads up to 1 A at 30 VDC.
The 18245AD supports resistive loads up to 1 A at 30 VDC with gold-plated silver contacts. It maintains a dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. and an initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max., ensuring stable electrical connections and minimal power loss. The switch also features an insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. for long-term reliability in high-voltage environments.
Designed to operate in extreme conditions, the switch functions reliably between -30 °C and +65 °C. This wide temperature range makes it suitable for both cold industrial settings and hot environments, ensuring consistent performance without degradation.
The 18245AD includes snap-in panel mounting with tactile feedback, providing a secure and user-friendly installation process. Its straight PC terminals and double pole configuration allow for easy integration into control panels and industrial systems without additional hardware.
With an electrical life of 60,000 cycles at full load, the switch is built to withstand repeated use in demanding applications. The gold-plated silver contacts resist corrosion and wear, extending the switch's operational life while maintaining low contact resistance.
