The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S13M is a robust autoswitch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring IP67 and IP69K sealing, this switch delivers reliable operation with 1,000,000 cycles, 2 mm total travel, and gold-plated contacts for 100 mA at 28 VDC. Ideal for applications requiring high durability and precise switching.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S13M is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial use in harsh conditions. With exceptional sealing (IP67 and IP69K), it withstands extreme environmental challenges including salt spray, shock resistance, and high-temperature operation. This switch provides precise switching with low contact resistance (100 mΩ max), high dielectric strength (1,500 Vrms), and a long mechanical life of 1,000,000 cycles. Its compact design, robust construction, and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable performance in critical applications where durability and precision are essential.
The IXP5S13M excels in extreme environments with IP67 and IP69K sealing. This dual certification ensures protection against dust, water immersion, and high-pressure salt spray. The switch withstands shock resistance (100 g per IEC 512-4, test 6c) and operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +85 °C, making it suitable for marine, automotive, and industrial settings where environmental stress is common.
With a dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms and initial contact resistance of 100 mΩ max, the IXP5S13M ensures minimal electrical interference and reliable switching. The switch supports 100 mA at 28 VDC for gold-plated contacts (1,000,000 cycles) and 2 A at 28 VDC for silver contacts (100,000 cycles), providing flexibility for both low-power and higher-current applications.
Engineered for longevity, the IXP5S13M delivers 1,000,000 cycles of operation with a total travel of 2 mm (±0.3 mm). Its robust construction includes a compact case with strong tactile feedback, ensuring precise switching and consistent performance even under repeated mechanical stress.
The switch operates within a wide temperature range (-40 °C to +85 °C) and features a low operating force of 8.5 N for NC/NO functions. Its shock resistance (100 g per IEC 512-4, test 6c) and salt spray resistance (IEC 512-6, test 11f) ensure reliability in demanding industrial conditions.
