The APEM Panel Switches IRR3V232 is a high-reliability microswitch-based autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This panel switch combines IP67-rated environmental protection with tactile feedback for precise user interaction, ensuring consistent performance in harsh conditions. With a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles and a current rating of up to 5 A at 250 VAC, it meets stringent requirements for durability and safety in critical applications. The switch's flat round actuator supports optional marking, while its screw terminals and robust construction make it suitable for demanding industrial environments.
The IRR3V232 delivers reliable electrical performance with a maximum current rating of 5 A at 250 VAC for resistive loads. It features a dielectric strength of 750 Vrms between terminals and 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame, ensuring robust insulation. Initial contact resistance is limited to 100 mΩ max., and it operates within a temperature range of -20°C to +85°C (-40°F to 185°F).
Engineered for extreme conditions, the IRR3V232 meets IP67 standards for dust and water resistance, with salt spray testing compliant to IEC 512-6, test 11f. This ensures long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments, including exposure to corrosive elements and high humidity.
With a total travel of 1.6 mm (±0.3 mm typical) and an operating force of 2 N, the switch provides precise actuation with minimal wear. Its mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles ensures extended service life even under frequent use, while the 3 mm panel thickness (max) supports robust mounting.
The switch features screw terminals for secure electrical connections and a flat round actuator that accommodates optional marking. It is available in both illuminated and non-illuminated variants, with a torque limit of 0.8 Nm max. for nut tightening. The microswitch technology ensures precise switching without mechanical wear.
