The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3C1272A0X is a high-reliability, snap-in threaded bushing autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring silver contacts with a 4 A 12 VDC rating, 1 million cycles of electrical life, and robust construction for -40°C to +75°C operation, this switch ensures durable performance in demanding environments.
The APEM Panel Switches FPDR3C1272A0X is a precision-engineered autoswitch designed for industrial control systems. This snap-in threaded bushing model delivers exceptional reliability with silver contacts rated for 4 A at 12 VDC, supporting up to 1 million cycles of electrical life under full load. Its robust construction withstands extreme temperatures from -40°C to +75°C and features a 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm total travel for smooth operation. The switch includes a blue LED for visual indication and is engineered for seamless integration into panel assemblies with minimal space requirements.
The FPDR3C1272A0X operates with a maximum current of 4 A at 12 VDC for resistive loads using silver contacts. It features a normally open (NO) electrical function and delivers 1 million cycles of electrical life under full load. The switch includes a blue LED for visual indication without requiring a resistor.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch operates reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +75°C. Its robust construction ensures consistent performance in harsh industrial environments without compromising electrical integrity.
With a total travel of 2.8 mm ± 0.5 mm and an operating force of 8 N ± 2 N, the switch provides smooth, precise actuation. The snap-in threaded bushing design accommodates panel thicknesses from 1.5 mm to 9 mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of industrial panel assemblies.
The switch utilizes high-quality silver contacts with a 50 mΩ max. initial contact resistance. Its lightweight design features pad-printed or laser-etched symbols, and the bezel is black for enhanced visibility and durability.
