The APEM Panel Switches ICR3FAD6 is a robust, sealed autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP67 sealing, tactile feedback, and a flat round actuator, it delivers reliable operation in extreme environments with a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). This switch supports high current ratings (up to 5A 28VDC) and offers 1,000,000 mechanical cycles for long-term durability.
The APEM Panel Switches ICR3FAD6 is a high-reliability, sealed autoswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. With IP67 protection against dust and water immersion, this switch ensures consistent performance in harsh conditions while maintaining a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Its momentary operation with short case design and reduced behind-panel depth makes it ideal for space-constrained installations. The switch delivers precise tactile feedback and supports multiple current ratings (up to 5A 28VDC) with exceptional mechanical life (1,000,000 cycles) for critical applications where reliability is paramount.
The ICR3FAD6 operates within a wide voltage range (28VDC and 48VDC) with specific current ratings. For resistive loads, it supports up to 5A at 28VDC (70,000 cycles), 0.2A at 48VDC (500,000 cycles), and 0.5A at 48VAC (500,000 cycles). Initial contact resistance is ≤50 mΩ, ensuring minimal voltage drop during operation.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the switch maintains functionality across a broad temperature range (-40°C to +85°C). Its IP67 rating guarantees protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial settings without compromising performance.
With a total travel of 1.7 mm (±0.3 mm), the switch provides precise actuation. The operating force of 2 N ensures user-friendly operation, while the 1,000,000 cycle life rating demonstrates exceptional longevity for continuous industrial use.
The switch features a 1.5–4 mm panel thickness for structural integrity and flexibility. Its sealed design (IP67) prevents environmental contamination, and the momentary operation with short case reduces behind-panel depth for space-efficient installations.
