APEM Panel Switches IR - momentary are robust, sealed momentary switches designed for industrial applications. These switches feature 4 A 48 VDC rating, 500,000 cycles, IP67 sealing, and operate within -20 °C to +85 °C. Ideal for demanding environments requiring reliable electrical switching.
Product Overview
APEM Panel Switches IR - momentary are high-reliability, momentary switches engineered for industrial control systems. With a 4 A 48 VDC rating and 500,000 cycle life, these switches deliver consistent performance in harsh conditions. The IP67 sealed construction ensures protection against dust, water, and environmental stressors, while the wide operating temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C makes them suitable for extreme industrial settings. Their combined NC/NO electrical function and tactile feedback provide precise control with minimal user effort.
Electrical Specifications
These switches support 4 A 48 VDC with 500,000 cycles for resistive loads. Gold-plated contacts (Code 4) handle 200 mA at 48 VDC, while silver contacts (Code 2) manage 5 A at 28 VDC with 70,000 cycles. Initial contact resistance is 100 mΩ max, and dielectric strength reaches 750 Vrms between terminals and 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame.
Environmental Durability
Engineered for extreme conditions, these switches meet IP67 standards for dust and water resistance. They withstand shock resistance of 100 g (IEC 512-4, test 6c), vibration resistance up to 10 g at 10-500 Hz (IEC 512-4, test 6d), and salt spray testing (IEC 512-6, test 11f). The operating temperature range spans -20 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F).
Physical Characteristics
With a panel thickness of 3 mm max, total travel of 1.6 mm +/- 0.3 mm, and operating force of 4 N +/- 2 N, these switches are compact and precise. The actuator is made of polyamide 6/6, and the switch features a square or round actuator with a wide range of color options for both actuators and illumination.
Customization Options
APEM offers extensive customization for these switches, including optional marking for flat round actuators, integrated resistors, and a wide selection of actuator and illumination colors. The switches can be mounted via solder lug or quick connect terminals, providing flexibility for diverse installation requirements.
