Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IRP3Z422 is a robust, sealed autoswitch designed for industrial applications. With an IP67 rating, 1,000,000 cycle life, and 5 A 250 VAC rating, it offers reliable tactile feedback and optional illumination for demanding environments. Ideal for machinery and control systems requiring high durability and safety.
The APEM Panel Switches IRP3Z422 is a high-reliability, sealed autoswitch engineered for industrial use. Featuring an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, it operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C, ensuring performance in extreme conditions. With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles and a 5 A 250 VAC current rating for resistive loads, this switch delivers consistent operation in critical applications. Its tactile feedback and optional illumination provide precise user interaction while the flat round actuator supports optional marking for clear identification in complex systems.
The IRP3Z422 operates as a Normally Open (NO) switch with a dielectric strength of 750 Vrms between terminals and 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame. It supports 5 A 250 VAC for resistive loads with 50,000 cycles (function 7) and 25,000 cycles (function 8). Initial contact resistance is 100 mΩ max, ensuring minimal electrical interference.
Engineered for harsh conditions, the IRP3Z422 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 protection against dust and water immersion, making it suitable for outdoor and industrial environments where exposure to elements is common.
With a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm) and an operating force of 4 N ± 2 N, the switch ensures smooth and consistent actuation. The screw version supports up to 4 A continuous current, while the flat round actuator allows for optional marking to enhance identification in complex control panels.
The switch features quick-connect terminals and a panel thickness of 3 mm max. It is designed for easy installation with a torque specification of 0.8 Nm max for nut tightening. Soldering is safe at 320°C for up to 3 seconds, ensuring reliable connections without damage.
