Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IAR3F17/100 are robust autoswitches designed for demanding industrial environments. These switches feature IP67 front panel sealing, 100 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC, and 1,000,000 cycle electrical life with 2 A 24 VDC ratings. Ideal for applications requiring high durability and resistance to environmental factors.
The APEM Panel Switches IAR3F17/100 are high-reliability autoswitches engineered for industrial use in harsh conditions. With IP67 front panel sealing, these switches provide exceptional protection against dust, water, and hydrocarbons while maintaining electrical integrity through 100 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC. Designed for long-term operation, they deliver 1,000,000 cycles of electrical life at full load with a 2 A 24 VDC current rating for resistive loads. The switches also feature tactile feedback, frost resistance, and a compact 7 mm panel thickness, making them suitable for applications where environmental resilience and precise control are critical.
The APEM Panel Switches IAR3F17/100 operate within a temperature range of -20 °C to +65 °C. They support 2 A 24 VDC current ratings for resistive loads and feature an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max. The switches are designed for 1,000,000 cycles of electrical life at full load, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding applications.
With IP67 front panel sealing, these switches are protected against dust, water, and hydrocarbons. They also pass IEC 512-6 salt spray testing (test 11f), ensuring resilience in corrosive environments. The frost-resistant design and 7 mm panel thickness further enhance their suitability for extreme conditions.
The switches offer a total travel of 1.5 mm (±0.3 mm) with a 7 N operating force (±2 N). They feature a rectangular rocker-action cap design with three sizes (10.1 x 12.5 / 18.65 / 25.0 mm) and a 12.2 mm height. The long travel option (2 mm) allows for custom keyboard combinations, providing flexibility in user interface design.
Ideal for industrial control panels where environmental protection and durability are critical, these switches are used in applications such as machinery control, process automation, and equipment with high exposure to dust, moisture, or hydrocarbons. Their tactile feedback and robust construction ensure precise operation in challenging settings.
