The APEM Panel Switches IMP7P422234 is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP67 sealing, high current/voltage ratings up to 3 A 28 VDC, and long travel of 2 mm, this switch ensures reliable operation in harsh environments. With 1,000,000 cycle life and shock resistance meeting IEC 68-2-27 standards, it delivers durable performance for demanding industrial systems.
The APEM Panel Switches IMP7P422234 is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial environments where durability and precision are critical. This switch combines IP67 sealing with a robust construction to withstand extreme conditions, including temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C, shock resistance up to 50 g at 11 ms, and salt spray resistance per IEC 512-6 test 11f. Its flat round actuator design supports optional NO/NC marking, while the 2 mm long travel and 1.7 mm total travel ensure precise actuation for applications requiring high mechanical life and electrical stability.
The IMP7P422234 supports both normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) electrical functions with a maximum current rating of 3 A at 28 VDC for resistive loads. It features an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and dielectric strength of 500 Vrms between terminals, ensuring stable electrical performance under demanding conditions.
Engineered for extreme environments, this switch operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F) and withstands shock resistance of 50 g at 11 ms (IEC 68-2-27) and salt spray resistance per IEC 512-6 test 11f. Its IP67 rating guarantees protection against dust and water immersion, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh industrial settings.
With a total travel of 1.7 mm (±0.3 mm) and a long travel of 2 mm, the IMP7P422234 provides precise actuation. The switch achieves 1,000,000 cycle life for both mechanical and electrical functions, ensuring longevity even in high-stress applications. Torque requirements are 1 Nm max with metal nuts and 1.5 Nm max with plastic nuts (U166 and U4248), facilitating secure installation.
The flat round actuator design allows for optional NO/NC marking, enhancing user identification in complex systems. The panel thickness ranges from 1.5 mm to 10 mm, accommodating various mounting requirements. Additionally, the cap series can be combined into custom keyboards, enabling flexible integration into control panels without compromising performance.
