Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S12GRXKH is a robust, high-performance autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67/IP69K sealing, strong tactile feedback, and backlighted markings, this switch delivers reliable operation in extreme conditions with a 1,000,000-cycle life and 28 VDC compatibility. Ideal for applications requiring precise switching in harsh settings.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S12GRXKH is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial applications where durability and precision are critical. With a compact design, IP67/IP69K sealing, and strong tactile feedback, this switch ensures consistent performance in challenging environments. Its robust construction supports up to 1,000,000 operational cycles, making it suitable for continuous use in demanding industrial systems.
The IXP5S12GRXKH supports dual contact materials: gold-plated for 100 mA 28 VDC with 1,000,000 cycles and silver for 2 A 28 VDC with 100,000 cycles. It features a low initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max and a dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms. The switch operates with a typical total travel of 2 mm ± 0.3 mm and a contact bounce time of 10 ms.
Engineered for extreme conditions, the switch operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to +185 °F). It meets IP67 (dust and water resistance) and IP69K (high-pressure cleaning) standards, with shock resistance of 100 g per IEC 512-4 and salt spray resistance per IEC 512-6.
The switch has a total travel of 2 mm ± 0.3 mm and requires an operating force of 7 N for NO function and 8.5 N for NC/NO function. It features a torque requirement of 0.5 Nm (0.6 Nm max.) for nut tightening and a soldering temperature of 320 °C for 3 seconds.
With no space between the actuator and bushing, the IXP5S12GRXKH achieves superior sealing for IP67/IP69K compliance. This design ensures resistance to dust, water, and harsh chemicals while maintaining mechanical stability under shock and vibration conditions.
