The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3B1462X0X is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring gold-plated contacts for high electrical life (1 million cycles) and silver contacts for standard use (400,000 cycles), this switch operates within -40°C to +75°C temperatures. With a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm and initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max, it delivers reliable performance for demanding environments.
The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3B1462X0X is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This panel switch combines precise mechanical operation with robust electrical performance, offering momentary or latching functionality with gold-plated contacts for extended service life (1 million cycles) or silver contacts for standard applications (400,000 cycles). Designed to withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to +75°C, it features a low contact resistance of 50 mΩ max and a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm, ensuring consistent performance in harsh industrial settings.
The FPDR3B1462X0X 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 both momentary and latching operation, with gold-plated contacts providing 1 million cycles of electrical life and silver contacts offering 400,000 cycles. The switch operates with an initial contact resistance of 50 mΩ max, ensuring minimal voltage drop under load.
Mechanically robust, the switch features a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm and operates with a force of 8 N ± 2 N. It is designed for use in environments with temperatures ranging from -40°C to +75°C, making it suitable for extreme industrial conditions. The switch also includes a torque limit of 2 Nm max. applied to the nut for secure installation.
Available in snap-in and threaded bushing versions, the FPDR3B1462X0X accommodates panel thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm with or without a panel gasket. The switch uses solder lug terminals for reliable connections and features pad printed or laser etched symbols for clear identification. Its lightweight design ensures easy integration into control panels without compromising structural integrity.
This autoswitch is ideal for applications requiring precise control in industrial machinery, where reliability and durability are critical. It supports resistive loads up to 4 A at 12 VDC with silver contacts and 200 mA at 12 VDC with gold-plated contacts. The switch's latching and momentary operation modes allow for flexible control strategies in automation systems without the need for additional components.
