Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP3S13M is a robust, high-performance autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67/IP69K sealing, strong tactile feedback, and NO/NC/NO functionality, this switch delivers reliable operation in extreme conditions with a 1,000,000-cycle life expectancy and 100 mΩ max contact resistance. Ideal for applications requiring high durability and precise switching.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP3S13M is a high-reliability, compact autoswitch engineered for industrial applications where environmental resilience and precise switching performance are critical. With an IP67/IP69K sealing rating, this switch withstands harsh conditions including dust, water, and high-impact shocks, while providing strong tactile feedback and reliable NO/NC/NO functionality. Its robust construction ensures long-term performance in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial control systems where failure tolerance is essential.
The IXP3S13M delivers exceptional environmental resilience with IP67 (dustproof and waterproof) and IP69K (high-pressure, high-temperature) ratings. This ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial settings, including exposure to salt spray, dust, and high-impact shocks (100 g per IEC 512-4 test). The switch maintains performance across extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C), making it ideal for outdoor or high-stress applications.
With a 1,500 Vrms dielectric strength and 10 ms contact bounce time, the IXP3S13M ensures stable electrical isolation and minimal signal interference. The switch supports gold-plated contacts rated for 100 mA at 28 VDC (1,000,000 cycles) and silver contacts for 2 A at 28 VDC (100,000 cycles), providing flexibility for both low-power and higher-current applications.
Engineered for long-term durability, the IXP3S13M features a 1,000,000-cycle mechanical life and a total travel of 2 mm (±0.3 mm). Its strong tactile feedback ensures precise actuation, while the no-space-between-actuator-and-bushing design enhances sealing integrity and reduces failure risks in high-vibration environments.
The switch incorporates a high sealing level with no space between the actuator and bushing, ensuring IP67/IP69K compliance. This design prevents ingress of contaminants while maintaining robust mechanical stability. The compact case with backlighted markings provides clear visibility in low-light conditions without compromising environmental protection.
