The APEM Panel Switches IAR5F1600 is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring a 7 mm panel thickness, 1.5 mm total travel, and 7 N operating force, this switch delivers 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical life. Ideal for demanding environments with IP67 sealing and 24 VDC compatibility.
The APEM Panel Switches IAR5F1600 is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. With a 7 mm maximum panel thickness and a total travel of 1.5 mm (±0.3 mm typical), this switch ensures precise operation in critical applications. Its 7 N operating force and 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life make it suitable for high-stress environments. The switch supports 2 A 24 VDC loads with an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max, and features IP67 sealing for protection against dust and water immersion. The rectangular rocker-action caps (10.1 x 12.5 / 18.65 / 25.0 mm h=12.2 mm) allow for custom keyboard integration, enhancing flexibility in control panel design.
The IAR5F1600 operates within a 24 VDC range, supporting up to 2 A with resistive loads. It features an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and an insulation resistance of 100 MΩ min at 500 VDC. The dielectric strength is 500 Vrms, ensuring reliable performance under electrical stress.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the switch operates between -20 °C and +65 °C. Its IP67 rating provides full protection against dust and water immersion, with salt spray resistance per IEC 512-6 test 11f. This makes it ideal for outdoor or marine environments.
With a 1.5 mm total travel (±0.3 mm typical) and 7 N operating force (±2 N), the switch delivers precise and repeatable operation. The 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life ensures long-term reliability in high-traffic applications.
The rectangular rocker-action caps (10.1 x 12.5 / 18.65 / 25.0 mm h=12.2 mm) can be combined into custom keyboards, enabling tailored control layouts for specific industrial needs. The long travel (2 mm) design accommodates applications requiring extended actuation.
