The APEM Panel Switches 8000 are single pole autoswitches designed for industrial applications. These switches feature gold-plated contacts, IP65 sealing, and UL approval with a current rating up to 1A for DC circuits. They offer momentary or alternate action with a temperature range of -25°C to +80°C and operate reliably in environments up to 30VDC.
The APEM Panel Switches 8000 represent a robust solution for industrial control systems, providing precise switching functionality with exceptional reliability. Engineered for demanding environments, these single pole autoswitches deliver gold-plated contacts that ensure low contact resistance (10 mΩ max) and high electrical life (30,000 cycles at full load). Their IP65 front panel sealing protects against dust and water ingress, while UL approval guarantees compliance with stringent safety standards. The switches operate within a temperature range of -25°C to +80°C and are rated for up to 30VDC circuits, making them ideal for applications requiring dependable switching in harsh industrial conditions.
The APEM Panel Switches 8000 deliver reliable electrical performance with a maximum voltage rating of 30VDC. They feature gold-plated contacts that maintain low resistance (10 mΩ max) and support up to 1A current for DC circuits. The switches exhibit high dielectric strength (1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals and 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals and frame) and insulation resistance of 1,000 MΩ min. at 500 VDC, ensuring robust electrical isolation in demanding applications.
Engineered for extreme conditions, these switches operate within a temperature range of -25°C to +80°C (-13°F to +76°F). The IP65 front panel sealing provides protection against dust and water ingress, while the housing material (diallylphthalate or DAP) ensures durability. The switches also feature a wide operational temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, making them suitable for both industrial and outdoor environments.
The Panel Switches 8000 have a compact size with a height of 6.3 mm and weight of 98 g. They utilize brass, nickel-plated actuators and stainless steel housings for robust construction. The switches offer two bushing options: UL approved Ø6.35 mm (1/4) and Ø11.9 mm (15/32), with a total travel of 2.70 mm for precise mechanical operation.
Designed for easy integration, the switches support solder lug or straight PC terminals for secure connections. They are available with one or two axis configurations and optional center detect microswitches, providing flexibility in system design. The switches also feature a momentary or alternate action mechanism, allowing for precise control in automated processes.
