Ideal for demanding environments requiring high durability and electrical safety.
The APEM Panel Switches IRR3S462L0S is a high-reliability microswitch engineered for industrial automation and control systems. This switch combines IP67-rated sealing to withstand harsh conditions, tactile feedback for precise user interaction, and a flat round actuator that supports optional marking for clear identification. With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles and a maximum current rating of 5 A at 250 VAC, it ensures long-term performance in critical applications where electrical safety and durability are paramount.
The IRR3S462L0S delivers robust electrical performance with a maximum current rating of 5 A at 250 VAC for resistive loads (50,000 cycles) and 5 A at 250 VAC for inductive loads (25,000 cycles). It features a low initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and high dielectric strength (750 Vrms between terminals, 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame). The switch operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F), ensuring stability in extreme environments.
Engineered for harsh industrial conditions, the IRR3S462L0S meets IP67 standards for dust and water resistance, with salt spray testing compliance (IEC 512-6, test 11f). Its insulation resistance of 1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC ensures reliable electrical isolation, while the switch's ability to withstand temperatures from -20°C to +85°C makes it suitable for outdoor and high-temperature applications.
With a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical) and operating force of 2 N, the switch provides precise actuation with minimal wear. The mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles ensures long-term reliability, and the screw version supports up to 4 A current ratings for high-load applications. Tactile feedback enhances user experience without compromising performance.
The switch features solder lugs for secure terminal connections and a flat round actuator that accommodates optional marking. It is designed for easy installation with a panel thickness of 3 mm (max.), and the IP67 sealing ensures protection against environmental contaminants. The switch can be illuminated or non-illuminated, providing flexibility for visibility in low-light conditions.
