The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3B1422X0X is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This panel switch delivers exceptional durability with gold-plated contacts rated for 200,000 cycles of latching operation and 1 GΩ minimum insulation resistance at 500 VDC. Designed to operate within a temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, it supports both snap-in and threaded bushing versions with precise mechanical and electrical specifications. The switch features a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm and an initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max, ensuring seamless integration into critical electrical circuits without compromising performance.
The FPDR3B1422X0X delivers reliable electrical performance with a minimum insulation resistance of 1 GΩ at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz. It supports a maximum current of 4 A at 12 VDC for silver contacts and 200 mA for gold-plated contacts, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of resistive loads. The switch operates with an initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max, minimizing power loss during switching.
Engineered for industrial use, the switch features a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm and requires an operating force of 8 N ± 2 N. Its robust construction includes a snap-in or threaded bushing option, with panel thickness ranging from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm (with gasket) or up to 9 mm (without gasket). The maximum torque for installation is 2 Nm, ensuring secure and repeatable mounting.
Designed to withstand extreme environmental conditions, the FPDR3B1422X0X operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C. This makes it suitable for use in harsh industrial settings, including outdoor applications or environments with significant thermal fluctuations. The switch also meets stringent electrical safety standards for reliable operation in demanding conditions.
This autoswitch is ideal for applications requiring precise control in electrical systems, such as machinery control panels, automation systems, and industrial equipment. Its large but lightweight design with pad-printed or laser-etched symbols ensures clear identification and ease of use. The switch supports both momentary and latching functions, providing flexibility in circuit design while maintaining high reliability.
