The APEM Panel Switches FPCR3A1462X0X is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring gold-plated contacts for 200 mA 12 VDC operation and a 1 GΩ min. insulation resistance at 500 VDC, this switch ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. With electrical life up to 1 million cycles for momentary models and a compact 2.8 mm travel, it delivers precise control for critical systems.
The APEM Panel Switches FPCR3A1462X0X is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control panels. This switch combines exceptional electrical performance with compact design, offering momentary operation with gold-plated contacts rated for 200 mA 12 VDC and silver contacts for 4 A 12 VDC. Its robust construction supports operation across a wide temperature range (-40 °C to +75 °C) and features a 1 GΩ min. insulation resistance at 500 VDC, ensuring safety and longevity in harsh industrial settings.
The FPCR3A1462X0X delivers precise electrical control with a 1 GΩ min. insulation resistance at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz. Gold-plated contacts (code 4) support 200 mA 12 VDC loads, while silver contacts (code 2) handle up to 4 A 12 VDC. Initial contact resistance remains below 50 mΩ max., ensuring minimal voltage drop during operation.
Engineered for industrial longevity, this switch achieves up to 1 million cycles for momentary models and 200,000 cycles for latching models under full load. Its robust construction withstands temperatures from -40 °C to +75 °C and operates reliably with a 2 N force requirement, making it suitable for continuous use in demanding environments.
Available in snap-in and threaded bushing versions, the switch features a compact 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm total travel. Panel thickness ranges from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm with or without gasket, while threaded versions accommodate up to 9 mm. The lightweight design with pad printed or laser etched symbols ensures easy integration and clear identification.
Designed for precise control, the FPCR3A1462X0X operates as a normally open (NO) switch with a 2 N actuation force. Its low operating torque (2 Nm max.) allows for smooth installation and reliable performance without excessive mechanical stress. The switch supports both momentary and latching functions, providing flexibility for diverse industrial applications.
