The APEM Panel Switches IRP3F452 is a high-reliability microswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. With an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, it withstands salt spray exposure and operates within a wide temperature range of -20°C to +85°C. This switch delivers precise tactile feedback, 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life, and robust electrical performance including 5 A 250 VAC ratings with 50,000 cycles for resistive loads. Its flat round actuator design supports optional marking and illumination, making it suitable for critical control applications where durability and reliability are paramount.
The IRP3F452 delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum current rating of 5 A at 250 VAC for resistive loads. It supports 50,000 cycles for function 7 and 25,000 cycles for function 8, ensuring long-term durability in high-stress applications. The initial contact resistance is 100 mΩ max., minimizing voltage drop during operation, while the dielectric strength between terminals reaches 750 Vrms and between terminals and frame reaches 2,000 Vrms for robust insulation.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the IRP3F452 meets IP67 standards for dust and water resistance, with salt spray compliance per IEC 512-6, test 11f. It operates across a wide temperature range from -20°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F), making it suitable for outdoor installations and harsh industrial settings. The switch's robust construction ensures consistent performance in challenging environments without degradation.
With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles, the IRP3F452 is designed for applications requiring high switching frequency. The total travel is 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical), and the operating force is 4 N (±2 N), providing smooth and precise actuation. The switch features a flat round actuator that supports optional marking and illumination, enhancing usability in complex control panels.
The IRP3F452 uses flying leads for straightforward installation, eliminating the need for additional wiring. It is compatible with both screw and soldered connections, with a maximum soldering temperature of 320°C for 3 seconds. The switch's 3 mm panel thickness (max.) ensures it integrates seamlessly into standard industrial panels without compromising structural integrity.
