Ideal for demanding electrical systems requiring high durability and environmental resilience.
The APEM IRC3P422L0G Panel Switch is a high-reliability microswitch engineered for industrial use, combining exceptional environmental resilience with precise operational characteristics. With IP67 protection against dust and water immersion, this switch maintains performance in extreme conditions while delivering tactile feedback for user confirmation. Its robust construction, featuring a 3 mm panel thickness and 1.6 mm total travel, ensures precise actuation with minimal wear over 1,000,000 cycles. The switch supports up to 5 A current ratings with 250 VAC voltage tolerance and operates effectively across a wide temperature range from -20 °C to +85 °C.
The IRC3P422L0G is engineered for operation in demanding industrial environments. Its IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water, meeting IEC 60529 standards. Additionally, the switch passes salt spray testing (IEC 512-6, test 11f), making it suitable for outdoor or marine applications where exposure to corrosive elements is a concern.
This microswitch delivers reliable electrical performance with a dielectric strength of 750 Vrms between terminals and 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame. It supports up to 5 A current ratings at 250 VAC with 50,000 cycles for resistive loads and 25,000 cycles for inductive loads. The initial contact resistance remains below 100 mΩ, ensuring minimal voltage drop during operation.
The IRC3P422L0G features a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm), providing precise actuation with minimal mechanical play. Its 2 N operating force ensures smooth user interaction, while the tactile feedback mechanism provides immediate confirmation of switch activation. The switch operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C, accommodating extreme environmental conditions.
Constructed with a 3 mm panel thickness, the IRC3P422L0G is designed for secure mounting in industrial panels. The switch includes a flat round actuator for optional marking, allowing for clear identification in complex systems. It supports both screw and soldered connections, with a maximum soldering temperature of 320 °C for 3 seconds to ensure reliable assembly without damage.
