The APEM Panel Switches FPBP3C1222E1240 is a robust, snap-in autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP54 protection, 1 million cycles for momentary models, and silver contacts rated for 4 A 12 VDC, this 1-pole switch delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Ideal for control panels requiring high electrical life and durability.
The APEM Panel Switches FPBP3C1222E1240 is a high-reliability, snap-in autoswitch engineered for industrial control panels. This 1-pole, normally open (NO) switch offers exceptional electrical life with momentary models achieving 1 million cycles and latching models providing 200,000 cycles. Constructed with silver contacts rated for 4 A 12 VDC (resistive load) and gold-plated contacts for 200 mA 12 VDC, it ensures precise operation across a wide temperature range from -40 °C to +75 °C. The switch features IP54 protection with a panel gasket, 2.5 mm total travel, and a compact 26 mm snap-in mounting design, making it suitable for applications requiring durability, low force operation, and minimal space.
The FPBP3C1222E1240 delivers precise electrical operation with a maximum initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ. It supports 4 A 12 VDC for resistive loads with silver contacts (code 2) and 200 mA 12 VDC with gold-plated contacts (code 4). The switch operates within a wide temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, ensuring reliability in extreme conditions.
Engineered for long-term industrial use, the switch provides 1 million cycles for momentary models and 200,000 cycles for latching models under full load. Its robust construction, including IP54 protection with a panel gasket, ensures resistance to dust and water ingress while maintaining performance in harsh environments.
With a total travel of 2.5 mm ± 0.5 mm and operating force of 8 N ± 2 N, the switch requires minimal effort for activation. The snap-in mounting design (26 mm) allows for quick installation and secure integration into control panels without additional hardware.
The switch features IP54 protection (IEC 60529) with a panel gasket and 2 mm panel thickness, making it suitable for indoor industrial settings. Its snap-in mounting and compact size ensure easy integration into control panels while maintaining compliance with industrial safety standards.
