Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP3W02BRXCD is a robust, high-performance autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67/IP69K sealing, strong tactile feedback, and gold-plated contacts, this switch delivers reliable operation with 1,000,000 cycles for NO functions and 28 VDC/100 mA ratings. Ideal for applications requiring high durability and precise control.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP3W02BRXCD is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial use in harsh conditions. With a compact design, this switch provides exceptional durability through its IP67/IP69K sealing, ensuring protection against dust, water, and high-impact shocks. The gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance (100 mΩ max.) and long service life, while the strong tactile feedback and NO/NC/NO functionality enable precise user interaction. Designed to withstand extreme temperatures (-40°C to +85°C) and high operational demands, this switch is ideal for critical applications where reliability and performance are paramount.
The IXP3W02BRXCD operates reliably at 28 VDC with a maximum current rating of 100 mA for gold-plated contacts (1,000,000 cycles) and 2 A for silver contacts (100,000 cycles). Initial contact resistance is 100 mΩ max., ensuring minimal power loss and consistent performance. The switch features low contact bounce (10 ms) and dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms for robust electrical isolation.
Engineered for extreme conditions, this switch meets IP67 (dust and water resistance) and IP69K (high-pressure cleaning) standards. It withstands shocks of 100 g (IEC 512-4) and salt spray tests (IEC 512-6), ensuring long-term reliability in industrial environments. The operating and storage temperature range spans -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
With a total travel of 2 mm (±0.3 mm), the switch provides precise actuation. The operating force for NO functions is 7 N (±2 N), and for NC/NO functions, it is 8.5 N (±2 N). The switch features strong tactile feedback and a compact case design with no space between the actuator and bushing, enhancing mechanical stability and longevity.
The IXP3W02BRXCD is ideal for industrial control panels, machinery, and automation systems where high durability and precise switching are critical. Its backlighted marking ensures visibility in low-light conditions, while the robust sealing and shock resistance make it suitable for environments with high vibration, dust, or moisture exposure.
