The APEM Panel Switches IQC3S462L0G is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring 4 A 48 VDC ratings with 500,000 cycles, IP54 sealing, and a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C, this switch ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. Its latching action and flat round actuator provide precise control for critical systems.
The APEM Panel Switches IQC3S462L0G is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This switch delivers precise latching action with a 4 A 48 VDC rating and 500,000 operational cycles, making it ideal for applications requiring frequent switching without degradation. Its IP54 protection ensures resistance to dust and water, while the wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C allows operation in extreme conditions. The switch features a flat round actuator for optional marking and supports both illuminated and non-illuminated configurations, providing flexibility for diverse installation needs.
The IQC3S462L0G operates within a 4 A 48 VDC rating, delivering 500,000 cycles for resistive loads. It features gold-plated contacts (Code 4) for 200 mA 48 VDC applications and silver contacts (Code 2) for higher current needs. The switch maintains a low initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and withstands dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the IQC3S462L0G meets IP54 standards for dust and water resistance. It also passes shock resistance (100 g), vibration resistance (10-500 Hz at 10 g), and salt spray testing (IEC 512-6), ensuring long-term reliability in industrial settings.
With a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm), the switch provides precise actuation. Its operating force of 4 N ensures smooth operation, while the wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) allows use in extreme environments without performance degradation.
The switch includes a flat round actuator for optional marking and supports latching action. It is available in both illuminated and non-illuminated configurations, with a panel thickness of 2.20 mm (with flat seal) or 3 mm (without flat seal).
