Featuring IP67 sealing, tactile feedback, and a flat round actuator for optional marking, this switch delivers reliable operation in harsh environments with a 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life and 5 A 250 VAC rating. Ideal for demanding electrical systems requiring high durability and environmental resilience.
The APEM IRC3S422L0G Panel Switch is a high-reliability microswitch autoswitch engineered for industrial environments. This switch combines IP67-rated sealing, tactile feedback, and a flat round actuator with optional marking capabilities to ensure precise operation in challenging conditions. With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles and a 5 A 250 VAC current rating, it provides dependable performance for critical applications where environmental resilience and long-term reliability are essential.
The IRC3S422L0G features IP67 sealing, meeting IEC 60529 standards for dust and water resistance. It also passes IEC 512-6 salt spray testing (test 11f), ensuring reliable performance in corrosive environments. This robust sealing protects against external contaminants while maintaining electrical integrity in industrial settings.
With a 5 A 250 VAC current rating and 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life, this switch delivers consistent performance under demanding electrical loads. The initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max minimizes electrical interference, while dielectric strength of 750 Vrms between terminals ensures safe operation in high-voltage applications.
Engineered for precise operation, the IRC3S422L0G offers tactile feedback for user confirmation and a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical). Its operating force of 4 N (±2 N) ensures smooth actuation, while the screw version supports up to 4 A continuous current for high-load applications.
Constructed with silver (gold-plated) contacts and a black bushing bezel, the switch provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The 3 mm panel thickness (max) ensures structural integrity, while the flat round actuator allows for optional marking to enhance identification in complex systems.
