The APEM Panel Switches FPCR3C1428B1253 is a snap-in 1-pole autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring bright chrome bezel, green LED indicators, and 12VDC compatibility, it delivers reliable operation with 1 million cycles for momentary models and 200,000 cycles for latching models. This lightweight switch supports solder lug terminals and operates within -40°C to +75°C temperature ranges.
The APEM Panel Switches FPCR3C1428B1253 is a robust, snap-in 1-pole autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. With a bright chrome bezel, green LED status indicator, and 12VDC compatibility, this switch provides precise control for low-voltage circuits. Its exceptional electrical life—up to 1 million cycles for momentary models with gold-plated contacts—ensures long-term reliability in critical applications. The switch operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +75°C and features a compact 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm total travel, making it ideal for space-constrained panels.
The FPCR3C1428B1253 delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum contact resistance of 50 mΩ and an insulation resistance of 1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC. It supports 12VDC loads with silver contacts rated for 4 A and gold-plated contacts for 200 mA, ensuring compatibility with low-voltage systems while maintaining high durability.
Engineered for industrial use, this switch withstands 8 N ± 2 N operating force and 2 Nm max. torque. Its snap-in design with 1.5–2.5 mm panel thickness (with or without gasket) ensures secure installation in standard panels, while the 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm total travel provides smooth operation without excessive wear.
With electrical life ratings of up to 1 million cycles for momentary models and 200,000 cycles for latching models, the FPCR3C1428B1253 ensures extended service life. The switch maintains performance across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +75°C), making it suitable for harsh environments without compromising functionality.
The switch features pad-printed or laser-etched symbols for clear identification and a lightweight design. Its snap-in version accommodates standard panel thicknesses (1.5–2.5 mm), while the threaded bushing option provides flexibility for custom mounting. Solder lug terminals ensure robust electrical connections without additional hardware.
