Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3B1466X0X is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. This momentary or latching switch features gold-plated contacts (200 mA 12 VDC) or silver contacts (4 A 12 VDC), with an insulation resistance of 1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC and dielectric strength of 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz. Its lightweight design, snap-in or threaded bushing options, and high electrical life make it ideal for demanding environments.
The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3B1466X0X is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This switch delivers precise electrical performance with momentary models rated for 1 million cycles (gold-plated contacts) and latching models for 200,000 cycles, ensuring long-term durability in critical applications. Its compact size, robust construction, and compatibility with both snap-in and threaded bushing mounting options provide flexibility for integration into machinery, automation systems, and electrical panels where reliable switching is essential.
The FPDR3B1466X0X 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 electrical life ratings of 1 million cycles (gold-plated contacts) or 200,000 cycles (latching models). The switch operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +75 °C, ensuring stability in extreme environments.
Available in snap-in and threaded bushing versions, the FPDR3B1466X0X accommodates panel thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm (with or without panel gasket).
The switch features low initial contact resistance (50 mΩ max.) and high electrical life. Gold-plated contacts handle up to 200 mA 12 VDC, while silver contacts support 4 A 12 VDC. This balance ensures reliable operation under varying load conditions without compromising performance.
With a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm typical and operating force of 8 N ± 2 N, the FPDR3B1466X0X ensures smooth, precise switching. The switch requires a torque of 2 Nm max. applied to the nut for secure installation and is designed for use in industrial automation systems where precision and durability are critical.
