The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S15M is a robust autoswitch designed for industrial applications. Featuring IP67 and IP69K sealing, this switch delivers high reliability with 1,000,000 cycles for NO/NC/NO functions, 100 g shock resistance, and 28 VDC compatibility. Ideal for demanding environments requiring precise switching and long-term durability.
The APEM Panel Switches IXP5S15M is a high-reliability autoswitch engineered for industrial control systems. This compact switch combines exceptional environmental resilience with precise electrical performance, ensuring dependable operation in harsh conditions. With IP67 and IP69K certifications, it withstands dust, water, and high-impact shocks while maintaining low contact resistance and high cycle life. The switch supports both NO and NC/NO functions, delivering consistent performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
The IXP5S15M delivers exceptional environmental protection with IP67 (dust and water resistance) and IP69K (high-pressure cleaning) certifications. This ensures reliable operation in extreme conditions, including exposure to salt spray, high-impact shocks, and industrial cleaning processes. The switch meets stringent IEC 512-4 and IEC 512-6 standards for shock and salt spray testing, making it suitable for marine, automotive, and manufacturing environments.
With a dielectric strength of 1,500 Vrms and contact bounce of 10 ms, the switch ensures stable electrical connections. The gold-plated contacts support 100 mA at 28 VDC for 1,000,000 cycles, while silver contacts handle up to 2 A at 28 VDC for 100,000 cycles. Initial contact resistance remains below 100 mΩ, minimizing power loss and ensuring consistent performance over time.
Engineered for high-cycle applications, the IXP5S15M withstands 1,000,000 operational cycles with a total travel of 2 mm (±0.3 mm). The switch features a tactile feedback mechanism and robust construction to resist mechanical stress, ensuring long-term reliability in demanding industrial settings.
The switch operates within a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F), accommodating extreme environmental conditions. This makes it ideal for use in outdoor installations, refrigeration systems, and high-temperature industrial processes where temperature fluctuations are common.
