Featuring IP67 sealing, high current/voltage ratings up to 3 A 28 VDC, and a long travel of 2 mm, this switch ensures reliable operation in harsh environments. With 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical life and shock resistance to IEC 68-2-27 standards, it delivers exceptional durability for demanding industrial systems.
The APEM Panel Switches IMP7Z462 is a high-performance autoswitch engineered for industrial environments requiring exceptional durability and reliability. 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 long travel of 2 mm and 1,000,000 cycle life ensure extended operational life in critical applications where consistent performance is essential.
The IMP7Z462 supports both NO (normally open) and NC (normally closed) 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 reliable electrical performance under demanding conditions.
Engineered for extreme environments, the IMP7Z462 withstands temperatures from -40°C to +85°C, shock resistance up to 50 g at 11 ms (IEC 68-2-27), and salt spray exposure per IEC 512-6 test 11f. Its IP67 rating guarantees dust and water resistance, 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 IMP7Z462 delivers precise actuation. The switch achieves 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical life, ensuring longevity even in high-frequency 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 IMP7Z462 features a flat round actuator for optional NO/NC marking and can be combined into custom keyboards using the cap series. Available in three rectangular rocker-action sizes (10.1 x 12.5 mm, 18.65 mm, and 25.0 mm), this switch offers flexibility for integration into diverse industrial control panels.
