The APEM Panel Switches 5566A-4N is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This switch delivers exceptional electrical insulation with a dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz minimum between poles and 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz minimum between terminals, making it suitable for high-voltage applications. Its epoxy sealed terminals and special body design provide enhanced creepage distance and air gap of 3 mm, ensuring robust performance in harsh industrial settings. The switch operates with a 4N force rating and is compatible with U721 connectors when the panel is not metallic or not grounded, meeting stringent safety standards including VDE, UL, and CSA approvals.
The APEM Panel Switches 5566A-4N operates with a dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz minimum between poles and 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz minimum between terminals. This ensures reliable electrical isolation even under high-voltage conditions. The switch is designed for use with resistive loads and features a 4N force rating for consistent actuation.
Epoxy sealed terminals provide superior resistance to moisture, dust, and chemical exposure. The special body design increases creepage distance and air gap to 3 mm, enhancing the switch's durability in industrial environments with high humidity or potential for electrical arcing.
The switch meets VDE, UL, and CSA safety standards, ensuring compliance with international electrical regulations. U721 connectors are compulsory when the panel is not metallic or not grounded, providing critical safety isolation in non-protected systems.
Designed for industrial control panels, the APEM Panel Switches 5566A-4N is ideal for applications requiring high electrical insulation and robust mechanical performance. Its compatibility with resistive loads and standard terminal sealing makes it suitable for machinery control systems, automation equipment, and electrical panels where reliability is critical.
