Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IMR7Z462234 are robust autoswitches designed for demanding industrial environments. These switches feature IP67 sealing, high current/voltage ratings up to 3A 28VDC, and long travel with 1,000,000 cycle life. Ideal for applications requiring reliable operation in extreme temperatures and harsh conditions.
The APEM Panel Switches IMR7Z462234 are high-reliability autoswitches engineered for industrial use in severe environments. With IP67 protection against dust and water, these switches maintain performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The robust construction ensures durability in applications involving high current/voltage loads up to 3A 28VDC, while the snap-action design provides tactile feedback and audible click for precise operation. The switches are rated for 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical life, making them suitable for continuous industrial use without frequent maintenance.
The APEM Panel Switches IMR7Z462234 support electrical functions including NC/NO configurations. They feature a maximum current/voltage rating of 3A 28VDC for resistive loads, with an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max. Dielectric strength of 500 Vrms between terminals ensures reliable electrical isolation. Electrical life at full load is rated at 25,000 cycles.
Engineered for harsh industrial conditions, these switches withstand extreme temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. They meet stringent environmental standards including IP67 sealing against dust and water, shock resistance of 50 g - 11 ms (IEC 68-2-27), and salt spray resistance (IEC 512-6, test 11f). Storage is also rated from -40°C to +85°C, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
The switches deliver exceptional mechanical resilience with a total travel of 1.7 mm (±0.3 mm) and long travel of 2 mm. They are rated for 1,000,000 cycles of mechanical life, with a snap-action design providing tactile feedback and an audible click. Torque requirements are 1 Nm max. with metal nuts (U166) or 1.5 Nm max. with plastic nuts (U4248).
Available in rectangular rocker-action caps with three sizes (10.1 x 12.5 mm, 18.65 mm, 25.0 mm) and a height of 12.2 mm. The cap series can be combined into custom keyboards for tailored applications. The flat round actuator supports optional NO/NC marking, enhancing functionality without compromising the switch's robust design.
