The APEM Panel Switches IRP3V252 is a high-performance autoswitch engineered for industrial use, combining exceptional durability with precise functionality. With a 3 mm panel thickness and a total travel of 1.6 mm, this switch ensures reliable operation in extreme environments. Its IP67 rating provides complete protection against dust and water immersion, while the tactile feedback feature offers immediate user confirmation during actuation. The switch supports up to 5 A 250 VAC loads with 50,000 cycles for resistive applications, making it suitable for critical industrial systems where long-term reliability is essential.
The IRP3V252 delivers robust 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 reliable operation in high-demand applications. Initial contact resistance remains below 100 mΩ, and dielectric strength exceeds 750 Vrms between terminals, with 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame for enhanced safety.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the IRP3V252 operates within a temperature range of -20 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F). Its IP67 rating ensures protection against dust, water immersion, and salt spray (IEC 512-6, test 11f), making it ideal for outdoor or harsh industrial settings. The switch also withstands salt spray testing, ensuring long-term reliability in corrosive environments.
With a panel thickness of 3 mm (max), the IRP3V252 offers a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical). The switch requires a force of 2 N for actuation and supports up to 4 A in screw versions. Its mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles ensures longevity even under continuous use, while the torque requirement of 0.8 Nm max. applied to the nut ensures secure installation.
The IRP3V252 is designed for applications requiring high reliability and durability, such as industrial control panels, machinery, and automation systems. Its tactile feedback and flat round actuator provide precise user interaction, while the optional marking feature allows for clear identification in complex environments. The switch’s ability to operate in extreme temperatures and resist environmental factors makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor industrial use.
