The APEM Panel Switches 6656-03 is a three-pole autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring nickel-plated bushings and chrome-plated locking levers with three locked positions, this switch offers robust performance with an insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals, ensuring reliable operation across temperatures from -40 °C to +85 °C.
The APEM Panel Switches 6656-03 is a three-pole autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. This switch combines high reliability with user-friendly installation through its quick-connect terminals and front panel sealing with one O-ring and sealing washer. Its nickel-plated bushing, lever, and upper nut construction, along with bright chrome-plated locking levers that provide three secure locked positions, ensures durability and precise control in critical applications. The switch meets stringent electrical performance standards, including an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. and electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load, making it suitable for continuous operation in harsh conditions.
The 6656-03 delivers precise electrical control with an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. and electrical life of 10,000 cycles at full load. Its dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals ensures robust protection against electrical surges, while the insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC guarantees long-term reliability in high-voltage environments.
Engineered to withstand extreme conditions, the switch operates effectively across a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. This wide operational range makes it ideal for use in both cold industrial settings and hot environments, such as outdoor installations or high-heat processes.
Front panel sealing with one O-ring and sealing washer provides effective protection against dust and moisture ingress. This feature ensures the switch remains functional in harsh environments without compromising electrical integrity.
Quick-connect terminals simplify installation and maintenance, allowing for rapid system integration. The switch is designed for easy mounting on standard 5 mm (.196) panel thicknesses, ensuring compatibility with most industrial control panels.
