The APEM Panel Switches IRC3F422L0G is a robust, microswitch-based autoswitch designed for industrial applications. With an IP67 rating, 1 GΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC, and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life, this switch ensures reliable operation in harsh environments while supporting up to 5 A 250 VAC loads. Ideal for demanding electrical systems requiring tactile feedback and sealed construction.
The APEM IRC3F422L0G Panel Switch is a high-reliability microswitch autoswitch engineered for industrial environments. Featuring an IP67 sealed construction, this switch withstands dust, water, and salt spray exposure while maintaining precise electrical performance. With a 1 GΩ minimum insulation resistance at 500 VDC and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life, it delivers consistent operation across extreme temperatures (-20°C to +85°C) and high-voltage applications. The switch includes tactile feedback, optional illumination, and a flat round actuator for marking, making it suitable for critical control circuits where durability and precision are essential.
The IRC3F422L0G delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum contact resistance of 100 mΩ and dielectric strength of 750 Vrms between terminals. It supports up to 5 A 250 VAC loads with 50,000 cycles (function 7) and 25,000 cycles (function 8), ensuring long-term stability in high-demand applications. The switch also features a 4 N operating force and 0.8 Nm max. torque for secure mounting.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the IRC3F422L0G meets IP67 standards for dust and water resistance, with salt spray testing compliance (IEC 512-6, test 11f). It operates across a wide temperature range (-20°C to +85°C) and withstands extreme environments without compromising performance.
Constructed with a 3 mm panel thickness and silver contact materials (gold-plated), the switch ensures robust mechanical integrity. Its microswitch technology provides precise actuation with a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical), while the flat round actuator allows for optional marking and tactile feedback.
This switch is ideal for industrial control panels, machinery, and automation systems where reliable switching is critical. Its sealed design and high cycle life make it suitable for applications involving frequent operation in wet, dusty, or corrosive environments.
