The APEM Panel Switches IRR8Z212 is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP67 sealing, 1 GΩ insulation resistance at 500 VDC, and 1,000,000 cycle mechanical life, this switch ensures reliable operation in harsh environments. With a 4 A screw version and tactile feedback, it delivers precise control for demanding systems.
The APEM Panel Switches IRR8Z212 is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial environments requiring robust performance and durability. This switch combines IP67 protection against dust and water, exceptional insulation resistance (1 GΩ min. at 500 VDC), and a mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles to ensure long-term functionality in challenging conditions. Its 4 A screw version, tactile feedback, and flat round actuator with optional marking capabilities make it ideal for applications where precise switching and environmental resilience are critical.
The IRR8Z212 supports 5 A 250 VAC with 50,000 cycles (function 7) and 5 A 250 VAC with 25,000 cycles (function 8) for resistive loads. It features 4 terminals for combined NC/NO electrical functions and an initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max. Dielectric strength reaches 750 Vrms between terminals and 2,000 Vrms between terminals and frame, ensuring safety in high-voltage environments.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the switch operates between -20 °C and +85 °C (-40 °F to 185 °F) and withstands salt spray testing (IEC 512-6, test 11f). Its IP67 rating provides full protection against dust and water immersion, making it suitable for outdoor or marine applications where environmental exposure is a concern.
Constructed with a 3 mm (.118) panel thickness, the switch offers a compact design with solder lugs for quick connection. The 0.8 Nm max. torque for nut application ensures secure installation without damage, while the 1.6 mm total travel (±0.3 mm) provides precise actuation with minimal wear.
The IRR8Z212 delivers tactile feedback for immediate user confirmation and supports both illuminated and non-illuminated operation. With a screw version rated up to 4 A, it accommodates high-current applications while maintaining reliability. The flat round actuator allows for optional marking, enhancing identification in complex panel layouts.
