The APEM Panel Switches ICR3FAD2 is a robust, high-reliability autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67 sealing, tactile feedback, and a flat round actuator with optional glossy finish, this switch delivers exceptional durability and precise operation across temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. With a maximum current rating of 5A at 28VDC and 500,000 cycles for 0.5A at 48VAC, it ensures long-term performance in critical applications.
The APEM Panel Switches ICR3FAD2 is a high-performance, sealed autoswitch engineered for industrial automation systems requiring reliable operation in harsh conditions. This switch combines IP67 protection against dust and water ingress with tactile feedback for precise user interaction, making it ideal for applications where environmental resilience and consistent performance are critical. Its robust construction, with a panel thickness of 1.5mm to 4mm, ensures durability while maintaining low contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and high insulation resistance (1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC). The switch supports a wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and delivers exceptional mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles) for continuous use in demanding industrial settings.
The ICR3FAD2 delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum current rating of 5A at 28VDC (70,000 cycles) and 0.5A at 48VAC (500,000 cycles). It maintains low contact resistance (50 mΩ max) and high insulation resistance (1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC), ensuring stable operation under varying load conditions. The switch operates within a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and features a dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms 50 Hz between terminals, providing robust protection against electrical faults.
Engineered for durability, the switch has a total travel of 1.7 mm (±0.3 mm typical) and requires an operating force of 4 N (±2 N). Its panel thickness ranges from 1.5 mm (min.) to 4 mm (max.), with a momentary operation design that includes a short case and reduced behind-panel depth. The switch supports 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical operation, ensuring long-term reliability in high-traffic environments.
The ICR3FAD2 is IP67 sealed, providing complete protection against dust and immersion in water up to 1 meter depth. This makes it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, including outdoor installations or areas with high moisture exposure. The switch also operates effectively across a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), ensuring consistent performance in extreme conditions.
With a flat round actuator design, the switch offers tactile feedback for precise user interaction. Optional glossy finishes and marking capabilities enhance usability and visual identification. The switch is designed for momentary operation with a short case, reducing behind-panel depth while maintaining robust functionality.
