The APEM Panel Switches IAR5F17/100 is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial environments requiring exceptional durability and performance. With a front panel sealed to IP67 standards, this switch provides protection against dust, water, and hydrocarbons, ensuring consistent operation in challenging conditions. The switch delivers 1,000,000 cycles of electrical life at full load, 100 MΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC, and tactile feedback for precise user interaction. Its compact design with a 7 mm panel thickness and 1.5 mm total travel makes it suitable for applications where space is constrained but reliability is critical.
The APEM Panel Switches IAR5F17/100 delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum current/voltage rating of 2 A at 24 VDC for resistive loads. It features an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and a dielectric strength of 500 Vrms. The switch operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +65 °C, ensuring consistent performance in extreme conditions.
Engineered for harsh environments, the IAR5F17/100 switch meets IP67 standards for front panel sealing, providing protection against dust, water, and hydrocarbons. It is also resistant to frost and sand, with salt spray resistance per IEC 512-6 test 11f. The switch operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20 °C to +65 °C.
With a panel thickness of 7 mm max, the switch has a total travel of 1.5 mm +/- 0.3 mm. The rectangular rocker-action caps offer three sizes (10.1 x 12.5 / 18.65 / 25.0 mm h=12.2 mm) and can be combined into custom keyboards. The operating force is 7 N +/- 2 N, with a torque range of 0.5 to 1 Nm max for nut application.
The switch is designed for over 1,000,000 cycles of electrical life at full load, ensuring long-term reliability. Its low-level or mechanical life supports up to 1,000,000 cycles, making it suitable for applications requiring extended service life without frequent replacement.
