The APEM Panel Switches AV021003C940T is a robust, high-reliability autoswitch designed for industrial applications. With an IP65 sealing rating, 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance, and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life, this switch ensures durability in harsh environments. Ideal for demanding electrical systems requiring precise switching under extreme conditions.
The APEM Panel Switches AV021003C940T is a high-performance autoswitch engineered for industrial use, featuring a short case design with screw terminals and a normally open (NO) electrical function. This switch delivers exceptional reliability with a 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life, IP65 sealing for dust and water resistance, and robust electrical specifications including 1,000 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC and 2,000 Vrms dielectric strength. Its operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C ensures consistent performance across extreme environmental conditions, while the 4 A 12 VDC current rating with resistive loads supports demanding applications without compromising safety or longevity.
The AV021003C940T operates with a normally open (NO) electrical function, supporting 4 A 12 VDC current ratings for resistive loads with 500,000 cycles and 2 A 48 VDC current ratings with 10,000 cycles. Its dielectric strength of 2,000 Vrms 50 Hz ensures safe electrical isolation between terminals and the frame, while the initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max. guarantees low resistance during operation.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch operates reliably across a temperature range of -30°C to +70°C. The IP65 sealing rating provides protection against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for outdoor installations and harsh industrial environments where exposure to elements is common.
With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles for low-level operation, the AV021003C940T is designed for long-term reliability in high-traffic switching applications. The switch can withstand hand soldering at 300°C for 3 seconds, ensuring compatibility with standard manufacturing processes without compromising integrity.
The switch requires a panel thickness of 1 mm to 11 mm and mounts with a 30 mm x 30 mm (1.181 x 1.181) footprint. Panel cut-outs of Ø19.2 mm or Ø22.2 mm are standard, allowing for precise integration into control panels without additional modifications.
