The APEM Panel Switches 6656-038 is a three-pole autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This switch provides reliable switching performance with a black lever and fluorescent tip, featuring locking levers that secure the switch in three distinct positions. Designed for high-stress environments, it meets stringent electrical and thermal requirements with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. The switch includes front panel sealing with one O-ring and sealing washer, ensuring protection against environmental factors while maintaining electrical integrity through its high insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals.
The APEM Panel Switches 6656-038 delivers high electrical reliability with an initial contact resistance of 10 mΩ max. and dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals. This ensures stable operation under high-voltage conditions while maintaining low resistance for efficient current flow. The switch also meets stringent insulation requirements with 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC, providing robust protection against electrical faults.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the switch operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C, making it suitable for both cold and hot industrial environments. Front panel sealing with one O-ring and sealing washer prevents dust and moisture ingress, ensuring long-term reliability without compromising electrical performance.
The switch features a panel thickness of 5 mm max. and a torque specification of 1.50 Nm (1.10 Ft.lb) max. for nut tightening, ensuring secure installation without damage. Its locking levers provide three distinct positions for precise control, enhancing operational safety and reducing accidental disengagement.
