The APEM Panel Switches IRP3S432 is a robust, sealed microswitch designed for industrial applications. With an IP67 rating, it offers exceptional protection against dust and water, and features tactile feedback for precise operation. This switch supports up to 5 A 250 VAC loads and is ideal for environments requiring high reliability and durability.
The APEM Panel Switches IRP3S432 is a high-reliability, sealed microswitch engineered for demanding industrial environments. Its IP67 rating ensures complete protection against dust and immersion in water, meeting stringent IEC 60529 standards. Designed with tactile feedback for precise user interaction, this switch delivers consistent performance in applications requiring high mechanical life and electrical robustness. The IRP3S432 operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C, making it suitable for extreme conditions while maintaining reliable operation under 1,000,000 cycles.
The IRP3S432 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 250 VAC with a resistive load, offering 50,000 cycles for function 7 and 25,000 cycles for function 8. Initial contact resistance remains below 100 mΩ max, ensuring minimal voltage drop during operation.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the IRP3S432 withstands salt spray testing (IEC 512-6, test 11f) and operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C. Its IP67 rating provides full dust and water protection, making it ideal for outdoor installations or marine environments where exposure to elements is common.
With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles, the IRP3S432 ensures long-term reliability in high-traffic applications. The switch features a flat round actuator for optional marking and tactile feedback, providing a distinct physical response to user input without requiring additional components.
The IRP3S432 uses solder lug terminals and is designed for easy installation with a maximum torque of 0.8 Nm applied to the nut. Its 3 mm panel thickness and 1.6 mm total travel (±0.3 mm) ensure precise fitment and minimal space requirements in industrial panels.
